Word-Place (Debir)

Morphological Notes	Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Used as the name of an Amorite king and of locations in Canaan. No pronominal suffixes or plural forms in this entry.
Rendering Rationale	The name דְּבִיר (Debir) is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp). It is likely derived from the root דבר (d-b-r), relating to speech or word, and elsewhere denotes the inner sanctuary as the place of divine speaking. "Word-Place" preserves the singular proper form while reflecting the root sense of a place associated with speech or utterance.
