SIBI-P1 Translation H1691-01
Two Fig-Cakes
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun; masculine dual form (-ַיִם); no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper name built from the dual of דְּבֵלָה ("fig cake"), itself from the root דבל, "to press together." Rendering it as "Two Fig-Cakes" preserves both the dual morphology (-ַיִם) and the underlying root imagery while recognizing its function as a name. |
