Moreh (Direction-Giver)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; geographical name derived from the root ירה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper masculine singular name derived from the root ירה, which carries the sense of directing or instructing. Retaining the name "Moreh" while appositionally reflecting its root sense as "Direction-Giver" preserves both its status as a place name and its etymological link to instruction or direction. |
