SIBI-P1 Translation H2124-01
Shining-One
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; personal name with probable nominal suffix -āʼ; preceded in the surface form by conjunction וְ but lexeme itself is singular masculine name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root זיז, conveying the ideas of standing out, protruding, or shining. Rendering it as "Shining-One" preserves the likely sense of prominence or brightness while reflecting its masculine singular proper-name form. |
