SIBI-P1 H7798-01

and Joyous-One

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). The form functions as a personal name derived from the verbal root שושׂ.
Rendering RationaleThe name שַׁוְשָׁא (Shavsha) derives from the root שושׂ, meaning "to rejoice" or "to exult." Rendering it as "Joyous-One" preserves the personal-name function (masculine singular proper noun) while transparently reflecting the root’s meaning; the prefixed conjunction וְ is represented by "and."
