SIBI-P1 H2722-01

at Ḥoreb (Desolation)

Morphological NotesPreposition בְ ("in/at") prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). No pronominal suffix; locative sense conveyed by the preposition.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
