SIBI-P1 H6085-04
Dustling (masculine proper name)
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun with the diminutive/descriptive suffix -וֹן (-ōn); functions as a personal and place name in the Hebrew Bible. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name עֶפְרוֹן derives from the root עפר (ʿ-p-r), meaning "dust" or "dry earth," with the -וֹן (-ōn) ending that often conveys a diminutive or descriptive nuance. As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering "Dustling" preserves both the root sense and the grammatical form of a single male personal name. |
