SIBI-P1 H85-01

Father-of-a-Multitude

Morphological NotesProper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Personal name formed from אָב (father) and a term associated with multitude (cf. הָמוֹן), reflecting a covenantal renaming (Genesis 17:5).
Rendering RationaleThe name אַבְרָהָם (ʼAbrâhâm) is understood as a compound built on אָב ("father") and a term related to "multitude." Rendering it as "Father-of-a-Multitude" preserves the root meaning of אב while reflecting the singular masculine proper noun form (HNp).
