SIBI-P1 H288-01
My-Brother-is-King
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Compound theophoric-style name formed from אֲחִי ("my brother," noun with 1cs suffix) + מֶלֶךְ ("king"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אָח (brother) with the first-person singular suffix (אֲחִי, "my brother") and מֶלֶךְ (king), yielding the sense "My Brother is King" or "Brother of the King." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering preserves its personal-name form while transparently reflecting its underlying kinship and kingship roots. |
