Babel (Confusion)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (HNp), singular place name; no gender, number change, or pronominal suffix in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name בָּבֶל (Babel) is linked in Genesis 11:9 with the root בלל, "to mix or confuse." Rendering it as "Babel (Confusion)" preserves both its identity as a singular proper noun and its etymological connection to the act of confounding language. |
