Encircling Wall
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, singular; masculine noun form functioning as a place name. |
| Rendering Rationale | Though used as a proper name, the noun derives from the root meaning "to turn" or "go around," referring to a built structure that encircles and encloses. "Encircling Wall" preserves both the concrete sense of a constructed barrier and its root-based imagery of surrounding. |
