Salema
Salma
Proper noun: Salma — a personal name designating two individuals in biblical genealogies; most likely derived from a term meaning 'garment' or 'clothing.' The name itself does not function as a common noun in biblical usage, but as a distinctive identifier for specific Israelite ancestors. The underlying sense may relate metaphorically to being 'clothed' (in dignity, inheritance, or position), but no such metaphor is explicit in the text. Used almost exclusively as a genealogical name, not as a term for apparel.

SIBI-P1 Translation H8007-01
Salma
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; personal name; no pronominal suffix or construct form. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a masculine singular proper name (HNp) used exclusively as a personal identifier. Although derived from a root related to "garment" or "covering," in biblical usage it functions strictly as a name, so it is rendered as "Salma" while retaining its root identity. |
