SIBI-P1 `H5941-01`

Lofty One (Eli)

Morphological Notes	Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). The form עֵלִי functions as a personal name; it is etymologically related to עלה ("to ascend, be high"). Some surface forms may resemble a construct with 1cs suffix, but in these occurrences it is a fixed proper name.
Rendering Rationale	The name עֵלִי derives from the root עלה, conveying the idea of ascent or loftiness. Rendering it as "Lofty One" preserves the root sense of elevation while reflecting its function as a masculine singular proper name.
