SIBI-P1 H8096-01
for Hearing-one
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun masculine singular (Np) with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). The form is a gentilic or patronymic-style personal name built on the root שׁמע. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name שִׁמְעִי (Shimʿî) derives from the root שׁמע ("to hear, to listen"). Rendering it "Hearing-one" preserves the verbal sense embedded in the name. The prefixed לְ ("for/to") is retained as "for," and the proper noun is masculine singular, reflected in the singular personal designation "one." |
