SIBI-P1 Translation H223-02
Yahweh is my light
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name; theophoric compound of אוּרִי (my light) + יָהּ (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אוּרִי ("my light," from the root אור) with the theophoric suffix יָהּ (Yah). Rendering it as "Yahweh is my light" preserves both the possessive morphology and the divine name element inherent in the compound form. |
