Ashshur (Prosperous-One)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Functions as a personal name (son of Shem), and by extension denotes his descendants, their land, and imperial entity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper noun אַשּׁוּר (masculine singular) is traditionally linked to the root אשר, conveying the sense of going straight or prospering. Rendering it as "Ashshur (Prosperous-One)" preserves the name while making explicit the root sense of prosperity or advancement inherent in the form. |
