Haran
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a masculine singular proper name and functions solely as a personal or place name. Because the proposed connection to the root הר ('mountain') is uncertain and not semantically active, the faithful rendering preserves it as the proper name 'Haran.' |
