SIBI-P1 H3099-01
Yah-has-grasped
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). A shortened form of יְהוֹאָחָז (Yehoʾachaz), consisting of the divine element יוֹ (Yah) + Qal perfect 3ms of אחז ("he has grasped"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root אחז ("to grasp, seize") combined with the theophoric element יוֹ (Yah, a shortened form of YHWH). The verbal element reflects a Qal perfect third masculine singular sense ("has grasped"), and as a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering preserves both the root meaning and its grammatical form. |
