Kenan
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name); no pronominal suffix or verbal features. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular proper name used exclusively in genealogies. Since its semantic function is strictly that of a personal name, and any connection to the root "to nest/dwell" is speculative, it is faithfully rendered as the established name "Kenan." |
