SIBI-P1 Translation H1092-01
Worn-out One
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name) with -ān ending; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root בלה (“to wear out, decay, fail in strength”) with an -ān nominal ending, suggesting an attributive sense such as “worn-out one” or “faint one.” As a masculine singular proper name, the rendering preserves both its nominal form and its root-based meaning. |
