Barnabas
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine singular (proper name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a nominative masculine singular proper noun, so it is rendered as the personal name "Barnabas." The underlying Aramaic elements convey "son of encouragement/comfort," but as a proper name it is transliterated rather than translated. |
