SIBI-P1 Translation H5369-02
Ner
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (proper name), construct state, with prefixed conjunction in surface forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular proper name in construct state. As SILEX identifies its primary lexical function as a personal name rather than the common noun "lamp," it is rendered simply as "Ner," preserving its identity as a name derived from the root idea of shining. |
