SIBI-P1 Translation H1835-02
He-has-judged
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (personal/tribal/place name); absolute form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name דָּן derives from the root דין (“to judge, vindicate”) and reflects a verbal idea embedded in the name. Rendering it as “He-has-judged” preserves the experiential/theophoric force of the name while remaining root-faithful without contextual specification. |
