SIBI-P1 Translation H687-02
and Etser
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + masculine singular proper name (Np). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ (“and”) attached to the masculine singular proper name אֶצֶר. As a personal name derived from the root אצר, it functions as an individual designation rather than a common noun, so it is rendered as a proper name while preserving the prefixed conjunction. |
