Asher
Proper name designating 'Asher,' one of the sons of Jacob/Israel; also refers to the tribe descended from him, the territory later allotted to that tribe, and in one instance, a location sharing the same name. The primary sense is as a personal and tribal identifier, rather than conveying a descriptive quality. The word is a theophoric proper name, and its actual lexical meaning functions exclusively as a designation.

that-which
| Morphological Notes | Indeclinable relative particle; no gender, number, or person marking; introduces dependent clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | As an indeclinable relative particle derived from a root meaning "to be straight/right," it introduces a clause that defines or specifies a referent. "That-which" preserves its core identifying and connecting function without adding contextual nuance. |
