SIBI-P1 Translation H739-01
Lion of God
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun; theophoric compound (אֲרִי + אֵל); no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The compound proper name joins אֲרִי (lion) with אֵל (God), yielding the theophoric meaning "Lion of God." Rendering it this way preserves both the leonine root sense and its divine association inherent in the morphology. |
