Sepharvaim
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, likely masculine; dual form (-ַיִם) used as fixed place-name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a proper noun with uncertain etymology and no clear derivation from a Hebrew root, so it is best preserved by transliteration. The dual ending -ַיִם is retained as part of the established place-name rather than translated. |
