SIBI-P1 H2526-02
and Ḥam (Hot-One)
| Morphological Notes | וְ conjunction prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). In a few occurrences the same spelling represents a Qal perfect or wayyiqtol 3ms of חם ("he was hot"/"and he became hot"), but here the lexeme is the proper name חָם. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a conjunction (וְ, "and") prefixed to the masculine singular proper name חָם (Ḥam). The name derives from the root חם, meaning "hot" or "warm," so rendering it as "Ḥam (Hot-One)" preserves both the personal name and its root sense while maintaining masculine singular reference. |
