He-Grasps (masculine singular proper name)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Derived from the Qal stem of אחז (to grasp, seize). The related verbal forms (HVqp3ms) reflect Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular usage of the same root. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אָחָז derives from the root אחז meaning "to seize" or "to grasp." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it is rendered in a way that preserves the verbal force of the root while reflecting its masculine singular form, conveying the sense of "He grasps" or "He takes hold." |
