Abel (Breath)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular, indeclinable (I). Attested in nominative (NMSI), genitive (GMSI), and accusative (AMSI) singular forms; case is determined by syntactic role, though the form remains Ἄβελ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name Ἄβελ transliterates the Hebrew הֶבֶל (hevel), meaning "breath" or "vapor," conveying transience. Rendering it as "Abel (Breath)" preserves the proper name while making explicit its root meaning. The form is masculine singular and indeclinable in Greek, functioning according to case (nominative, genitive, or accusative) without change in spelling. |
