Yah Has Hidden
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (personal name). Formed from the Qal verbal idea of חבה with the suffixed divine element יָהּ (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root חבה (to hide, conceal) with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah). As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it denotes a male individual whose name proclaims that "Yah has hidden" or "Yah has concealed," preserving both the verbal sense of the root and the singular personal reference. |
