Achashverosh, the Persian Great King
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew proper noun (masculine singular), of Persian origin; occurs with standard proper-name pointing. Functions syntactically as a singular male personal or royal title. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), referring to a specific Persian ruler. Since it is a loanword from Old Persian (Khshayarsha), not derived from a Hebrew root, the faithful rendering preserves the historical title and singular masculine identity while making explicit its sense as an imperial kingship designation rather than merely a personal name. |
