SIBI-P1 H1137-02

and Built-one

Morphological NotesConjunction וּ (“and”) prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). The name בָּנִי is derived from the root בנה and functions as a personal name.
Rendering RationaleThe name בָּנִי derives from the root בנה (“to build”). Rendering it as “Built-one” preserves the passive/resultative sense of something established or constructed, while maintaining its masculine singular proper-name form. The prefixed וּ is the conjunction “and,” reflected in the translation.
