From-Father
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Functions as a personal name (son of Lot), and by extension as the name of a people group and their territory. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name מוֹאָב (Môwʾâb) is traditionally understood as deriving from מִן ("from") + אָב ("father"), reflecting the origin narrative in Genesis 19. As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it is rendered as the singular name "From-Father," preserving both its etymological sense and its grammatical form. |
