SIBI-P1 `H5676-04`

ʿEver (the Crosser)

Root	עבר (ʿ-b-r)
Core Meanings	to cross over, pass through, traverse, go beyond, region beyond
Semantic Range	personal name; one who crosses over; one from beyond; ancestor associated with crossing or region beyond
Conceptual Significance	ʿEver is a patriarchal name linked to the ancestral line of Israel (Genesis 10–11). The root idea of "crossing over" resonates with themes of migration, boundary-crossing, and identity formation, later echoed in the designation "Hebrew" (עִבְרִי), possibly meaning "one from beyond" or "one who crosses over."
Morphological Notes	Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Used as a personal name referring to two patriarchs and four other Israelites. No pronominal suffix or plural marking; absolute form.
Rendering Rationale	The name derives from the root עבר (ʿ-b-r), meaning "to cross over" or "to pass beyond." Rendering it as "ʿEver (the Crosser)" preserves the masculine singular proper noun form (HNp) while making transparent the verbal idea embedded in the name.
