SIBI-P1 H669-01
Double-Fruitfulness
| Morphological Notes | Masculine proper noun with a dual ending (-ַיִם). Though dual in form, it functions as a singular proper name referring to an individual, tribe, or territory. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אֶפְרַיִם is derived from the root פרה ("to be fruitful") and is formed with a dual ending, conveying the sense of "double" or "twofold" fruitfulness. As a masculine proper noun (HNp) in dual form, "Double-Fruitfulness" preserves both the root meaning and the morphological nuance embedded in the name. |
