SIBI-P1 Translation H7714-01
Shadrak
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; personal name (Babylonian name of Hananiah). |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a masculine singular proper name of foreign origin with no recoverable Hebrew root meaning. It is therefore rendered by transliteration, preserving its identity as a loan-name rather than imposing a speculative meaning. |
