Morphological NotesPreposition כְּ ("as/according to") + masculine singular noun שֵׁם in construct state.
Rendering RationaleThe prefixed כְּ adds the sense "as/according to," and the masculine singular construct form שֵׁם requires a following genitive relationship, hence "name of." This preserves both the prepositional prefix and the construct morphology.
