to Yishay
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ('to/for') + proper masculine singular name יִשַׁי. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition לְ ('to/for') prefixed to the proper masculine name יִשַׁי (Yishay). As a personal name, it functions nominally without lexical meaning beyond identification, so it is rendered by transliteration with the prefixed preposition preserved. |
