SIBI-P1 Translation H138-05
And My-Lord-is-Yah
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + proper masculine singular personal name (theophoric), longer form אֲדֹנִיָּהוּ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אֲדֹנִי ("my lord") from the root אדן with the theophoric element יָהּ/יָהוּ (Yah), yielding the confession-like meaning "My Lord is Yah." The prefixed וַ is rendered as "And," preserving the conjunction attached to this proper masculine name. |
