SIBI-P1 H2722-01
at Ḥoreb (Desolation)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְ ("in/at") prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). No pronominal suffix; locative sense conveyed by the preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper noun חֹרֵב derives from the root חרב, meaning "to be dry, desolate, laid waste." Rendering it as "Ḥoreb (Desolation)" preserves the sound of the place-name while making explicit its root sense. The prefixed preposition בְ is reflected in "at," and the singular proper noun form is maintained. |
