toward Ravager-Town

Morphological NotesProper noun, singular, with directive (locative) ה suffix indicating motion toward the place; the base form is אַשְׁדּוֹד (Ashdod).
Rendering RationaleThe name אַשְׁדּוֹד (ʼAshdôwd) derives from the root שׁדד, "to ravage" or "devastate," preserving the sense of force or overpowering strength in the place name. The morphology HNp/Sd indicates a proper noun singular with a directional (locative) ה suffix, hence "toward Ravager-Town," reflecting the movement implied by the form.
