SIBI-P1 Translation H3389-06
From Established Peace-City
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to a proper feminine place-name noun; singular; irregular -ַיִם ending functioning as part of the fixed name, not a true dual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition מִן is preserved as "From," and the proper name is rendered in a root-aware way, reflecting ירה (to found/establish) and שלם (peace/wholeness). The rendering maintains its status as a singular proper noun while making the underlying etymological sense transparent. |
