Beeroth
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine plural, construct state; proper noun usage though formally common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | Although morphologically a feminine plural construct form meaning "wells," in biblical usage it functions as a fixed place name. Retaining "Beeroth" preserves its identity as the proper noun derived from the root for wells. |
