SIBI-P1 H3383-02
the Descender
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun with prefixed definite article (הַ + יַרְדֵּן). Morphology: HTd/Np (Hebrew, definite article, proper noun). Functions as a definite geographical name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name יַרְדֵּן derives from the root ירד, "to descend," referring to the river’s downward flow from the heights to the Dead Sea. The form includes the definite article (הַ) and is a masculine singular proper noun, so "the Descender" preserves both the root sense and the grammatical definiteness and singularity. |
