SIBI-P1 Translation H4983-01
Gift of Yah
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; theophoric compound of מַתָּן (gift) + יָהּ (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines מַתָּן (gift, from נתן "to give") with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah), yielding "Gift of Yah." This preserves the root meaning of giving while reflecting the masculine singular proper-name form. |
