SIBI-P1 H1617-02

and Gera ("Grain")

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). No pronominal suffixes; absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe form וְגֵרָא consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the masculine singular proper name גֵרָא. The name is likely derived from גֵּרָה ("grain," a small weight unit), so the rendering preserves both the conjunction and the singular masculine proper name while making transparent the probable root sense of "grain."
