Mitsrayim (the Double Narrow-Place)

Morphological NotesProper noun (HNp), masculine in form, with a dual ending -ַיִם. Though grammatically dual, it functions syntactically as a singular proper place name.
Rendering RationaleThe name מִצְרַיִם is morphologically dual (ending -ַיִם), traditionally understood as referring to Upper and Lower Egypt. Deriving from the root מצר, meaning "narrowness" or "confinement," the rendering "Double Narrow-Place" preserves both the dual grammatical form and the root sense of constriction or siege embedded in the name.
