and Hillock (Geba)

Morphological NotesHC/Np: conjunction (וָ, "and") prefixed to a singular proper noun (place name). גֶּבַע is a feminine singular noun used as a toponym.
Rendering RationaleThe name גֶּבַע derives from the root גבע, meaning "hill" or "elevated mound." Rendering it as "Hillock (Geba)" preserves the underlying topographical sense of the root while retaining the proper name. The prefixed conjunction וָ is reflected in "and," and the singular proper noun form is maintained.
