Keturah
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular proper noun; derived from a passive participial form of the root קטר. |
| Rendering Rationale | Although the form is a feminine passive participle meaning "perfumed" or "incensed," in the Hebrew Bible it functions exclusively as a proper personal name. Therefore the faithful rendering preserves its usage as a name while recognizing its etymological sense. |
