SIBI-P1 Translation H7865-01
Si'on the Lofty Peak
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (toponym), singular; derived from a noun built on the root שיא. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the noun שִׂיא meaning "height" or "peak," so the rendering preserves both its status as a proper name (Si'on) and its root sense of loftiness and elevation. This reflects its identity as a distinguished summit. |
