SIBI-P1 H3130-04
He-Will-Add
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Etymologically linked to the Hiphil imperfect 3ms of יסף (“he will cause to add/increase”), functioning as a theophoric or declarative name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name יוֹסֵף derives from the root יסף (“to add, increase”) and reflects the Hiphil imperfect 3rd masculine singular form, literally “he will add” or “may he add.” As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering “He-Will-Add” preserves both the causative sense of the Hiphil stem and the grammatical gender and number embedded in the form. |
