Brother-of-(the)-Father
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). A compound theophoric-style name built from אָח (brother) + אָב (father). No verbal stem; functions as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp) formed from אָח (brother) and אָב (father), literally meaning "brother of (the) father." Rendering it transparently preserves the compound root meaning while reflecting its singular masculine form as a personal name. |
