SIBI-P1 H87-01
Exalted Father
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Personal name of the patriarch later renamed אַבְרָהָם (Abraham). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אַבְרָם (ʼAbrām) is commonly understood as composed of אָב (father) and a form related to רוּם (to be high, exalted), yielding the sense "Exalted Father." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering reflects a singular male personal name while preserving the root idea of exaltation. |
