SIBI-P1 Translation H123-02
Red-One
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name derives directly from the root meaning "to be red," preserving the sense of redness or ruddy appearance. Rendering it as "Red-One" maintains the singular masculine proper-name form while reflecting the underlying root meaning rather than substituting a later conventional label. |
