SIBI-P1 Translation H8050-03
and El-has-heard
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine personal name שְׁמוּאֵל with prefixed conjunction וּ (“and”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines שמע (to hear) and אל (God), expressing the sense "El has heard" or "heard by El." The prefixed וּ is the conjunction "and," so the full form is rendered "and El-has-heard," preserving both the theophoric meaning and morphology. |
