לְ/יִצְחָ֗ק
𐤋/𐤉𐤑𐤇𐤒
Yitsechaq
Isaac
Proper personal name: Yitsḥaq (commonly rendered 'Isaac'), the son of Abraham and Sarah, whose birth was associated with the motif of laughter. The principal lexical meaning arises from its root, denoting 'he laughs' or 'he will laugh.' While the base meaning refers directly to laughter, in the naming context it denotes the individual's identity, not an abstract concept. Semantic range is limited as a proper name but draws on the underlying verb meaning of joyful laughter or astonishment.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3327-01
to He-Laughs
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (to/for) + proper masculine personal name יִצְחָק (3ms imperfect form used as a name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition לְ (“to/for”) prefixed to the proper name יִצְחָק, which derives from the 3rd person masculine singular imperfect of צחק, meaning “he laughs” or “he will laugh.” Rendering it as “He-Laughs” preserves the verbal root sense embedded in the name while reflecting the prefixed preposition. |
