SIBI-P1 Translation H5818-04
Yah is strength
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name); theophoric compound of noun עֹז (strength) + יהו (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines עז (strength, might) with the theophoric element יה/יהו (Yah), forming a sentence name that declares Yah as the source or embodiment of strength. Rendering it as “Yah is strength” preserves the root meaning and the declarative structure inherent in the construct form. |
