| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular proper noun (personal or place name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תָּמָר derives from the root meaning "to stand tall, be upright" and literally denotes a palm tree. As a feminine proper name, it retains the imagery of the tall, upright palm, so "Palm-Tree" preserves the root sense while reflecting its nominal form. |
