SIBI-P1 Translation H87-01
Exalted Father
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name (HNp); no pronominal suffix or inflectional variation in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אב (father) with רם (high, exalted), yielding the meaning 'Exalted Father' or 'the father is exalted.' Rendering it this way preserves the root components and their honorific force rather than masking them behind a conventional proper-name form. |
