SIBI-P1 Translation H1283-03
and Beriyyah
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (personal name), feminine form; prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper personal name with a prefixed conjunction (וּ, "and"). Since the term functions exclusively as a name and its etymological sense from רעע ("to be bad, broken") is uncertain and not used descriptively, it is best preserved as the transliterated name while acknowledging its root background. |
