and Double-Fruit

Rootפרה (p-r-h)
Core Meaningsfruitfulness, productivity, increase, multiplication
Semantic RangeEphraim the son of Joseph; the tribe descended from him; the tribal territory; by extension, the northern kingdom of Israel as a whole.
Conceptual SignificanceEphraim, meaning "Double-Fruit," reflects Joseph’s declaration of fruitfulness in affliction (Genesis 41:52). The tribe became preeminent in the northern kingdom, so the name often symbolizes abundance, prominence, and later the collective identity—and apostasy—of the northern tribes.
Morphological Notesוְ is the prefixed conjunction "and" attached to the proper masculine noun אֶפְרַיִם. The form contains the dual ending -ַיִם, though it functions as a proper name. Classified as HC/Np (Hebrew conjunction + proper noun).
Rendering RationaleThe name אֶפְרַיִם derives from the root פרה ("to be fruitful, multiply") and carries a dual ending -ַיִם, conveying the sense of "double fruitfulness." The prefixed conjunction וְ is preserved as "and," and the proper masculine singular name is rendered as "Double-Fruit" to retain the root meaning embedded in the name.
