SIBI-P1 H5677-01

ʿEver (the Crosser)

Morphological NotesMasculine 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 RationaleThe 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.
