SIBI-P1 Translation H3359-02
Yah Establishes
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine personal name; theophoric compound of a prefixed verbal form from קום with the suffix יָהּ (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root קום (to arise, stand, establish) with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah). The form reflects a causative/future sense—"Yah will cause to arise/establish"—so "Yah Establishes" preserves both the root meaning and the divine subject embedded in the name. |
