SIBI-P1 H2396-02
Yah-Strengthens
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Compound theophoric name formed from חזק (likely in a verbal or possessive form, "has strengthened" or "my strength") plus the divine element יהו (Yah). Variants include longer and prefixed forms (e.g., יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root חזק (to be strong, to strengthen) with the theophoric element יהו (Yah). As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it is rendered as a declarative name meaning "Yah-Strengthens," preserving both the root sense of strengthening and the personal, masculine singular form. |
