SIBI-P1 Translation H2228-02
Yah Has Shone Forth
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (HNp); theophoric formation with verbal root זרח + יָהּ (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root זרח (to rise, shine forth) with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah), yielding a declarative praise-name meaning that Yah has actively shone forth or arisen. The rendering preserves the verbal force of the root and the divine subject implied by the suffix. |
