Watchful-One

Morphological Notes	Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Derived from the verbal root עור with an adjectival or substantival sense meaning "watchful" or "awakened one." Occurs as a personal name.
Rendering Rationale	The name derives from the root עור (ʿ-w-r), meaning "to awaken" or "to be watchful." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering "Watchful-One" preserves both the root sense of alertness and the singular personal form indicated by the morphology.
