SIBI-P1 Translation H3435-02
He Leaves
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name; prefixed imperfect form (3ms) from שׁבק used as a name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root שׁבק meaning 'to leave, abandon, let go.' Its prefixed י־ form reflects a third person masculine singular imperfect ('he will leave'), preserved here as 'He Leaves' to reflect both root meaning and verbal morphology in name form. |
