from Hill-town
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִ (“from”) prefixed to proper noun גִּבְעוֹן (masculine singular place-name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun גִּבְעוֹן derives from גבע (“hill, elevation”) with the place-forming suffix -וֹן, meaning “hill-town.” The prefixed מִ marks separation or origin, yielding “from Hill-town,” preserving both the toponymic force and the prepositional morphology. |
