Hill-Height (Geba)

Morphological NotesProper noun, singular; masculine grammatical form though derived from a common noun often treated as feminine (גִּבְעָה). Functions as a place name without pronominal suffixes or verbal features.
Rendering RationaleThe name גֶּבַע is a singular proper noun (HNp) derived from the root גבע, meaning "hill" or "elevation." Rendering it as "Hill-Height" preserves the topographical sense embedded in the root while recognizing it as a singular place name, here identified as Geba.
