SIBI-P1 H8111-02

to Watch-Station

Morphological NotesPreposition לְ (“to/toward”) prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). The place-name is built from the Qal active participle of שׁמר with a nominal ending, functioning as a singular geographic designation.
Rendering Rationaleשֹׁמְרוֹן derives from the active participle of שׁמר (“one who watches/guards”), yielding the sense of a guarded place or watch-station. The prefixed לְ indicates direction (“to”), and the proper noun is masculine singular, so the rendering preserves both the directional preposition and the singular place-name while retaining the root idea of watching/guarding.
