SIBI-P1 Translation H3560-01
and from Firm-Settlement
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition מִ + proper noun (place name), singular; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the conjunction וּ ("and") and preposition מִ ("from"), while reflecting the proper name כּוּן as a toponym derived from the root meaning "to be firm, established." "Firm-Settlement" captures the root sense of durability and establishment inherent in the name. |
