Poti-Phera (He-whom-Ra-has-given)
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Occurs as part of the compound name פּוֹטִי פֶרַע (Poti-Phera). No pronominal suffixes; functions as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | Although spelled with the Hebrew consonants פרע, this proper noun is of Egyptian origin (Pa-di-Pre), meaning "He whom Ra has given." The rendering preserves its status as a masculine singular proper name (HNp) while transparently conveying the original theophoric meaning embedded in the name. |
