Terach
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Occurs as the name of the father of Abram (Abraham) and also as a place name. No pronominal suffixes or verbal features are present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form תֶּרַח is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), referring to a specific individual and, in one instance, a place. Because it functions strictly as a personal name, the most faithful rendering preserves the proper name "Terach" while acknowledging that its underlying root and meaning are uncertain. |
