Beth-Horon (House of the Hollow)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (HNp); compound place name formed from בֵּית in construct + חוֹרֹן; grammatically singular; refers collectively to two adjoining towns (Upper and Lower Beth-Horon). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from בֵּית (house of) in construct with חוֹר (hollow, cavity), preserving the root sense of a hollow or depression. As an HNp (proper noun), it is rendered as a singular place name while retaining the underlying meaning of the compound. |
