YHWH-is-blameless
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (theophoric compound: יו + תם). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the theophoric element יו (YHWH) with the root תם ('to be complete, blameless, perfect'), forming a declarative statement about YHWH’s perfection. Rendering it as 'YHWH-is-blameless' preserves both the root meaning and the compound structure of the proper name. |
