SIBI-P1 Translation H3157-04
El-sows
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (masculine singular); theophoric compound of verb-root זרע + אל; occurs with prefixed prepositions in some forms but lexeme itself is unchanged. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name combines the root זרע (to sow) with the theophoric element אל (El), yielding the declarative sense "El sows" or "God sows." Rendering it as "El-sows" preserves the root meaning and the embedded divine name without imposing later place-name conventions. |
