SIBI-P1 Translation H470-01
El-is-steadfast
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name (theophoric), no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אֵל (El, God) with a form likely derived from קוה conveying endurance or steadfastness. Rendering it as "El-is-steadfast" preserves the theophoric structure and reflects the root-based meaning rather than later speculative glosses. |
