SIBI-P1 Translation H4249-02
Machli
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name); hypocoristic or nominal derivative from חלה. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a proper masculine personal name derived from the root חלה (to be sick, weak, afflicted). As a name, it functions as an identifying label rather than a descriptive adjective, so it is rendered as Machli while preserving its root-derived identity. |
