SIBI-P1 H8034-14

for the Name of

Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc) with prefixed preposition לְ (HR/). Absolute forms (Ncmsa) also occur. No pronominal suffix in these instances.
Rendering RationaleThe form לְשֵׁם consists of the preposition לְ ("for/to") prefixed to the masculine singular construct noun שֵׁם ("name"). Rendering it as "for the Name of" preserves the construct state (which requires a following complement) and maintains the singular masculine sense of a distinct, identifiable Name tied to identity and reputation.
