Gareb
A proper name designating two distinct entities: (1) a personal name borne by an Israelite warrior in the time of King David, (2) the name of a hill located near Jerusalem. The name itself is likely derived from a root meaning 'scab' or 'scabby,' but as a proper noun, it functions only as a designation of a person or place rather than a descriptor of physical condition.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1619-01
Gareb
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name and toponym). |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a masculine singular proper name derived from the root גרב. Although the root denotes 'scab' or 'scabby,' in this nominal formation it functions strictly as a personal and place name, so the rendering preserves its proper-name status rather than expressing the etymological sense. |
