SIBI-P1 Translation H4519-03
to the Forget-Causer
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל (to/for) + proper masculine singular noun; name formed as Hiphil participle from נשה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name מְנַשֶּׁה is a Hiphil participle meaning "one who causes to forget"; the prefixed ל marks direction or association, hence "to the Forget-Causer." This preserves both the causative stem and the prepositional prefix. |
