Two-Caves (Place)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (HNp); masculine dual form indicated by the -ַיִם ending; place name of a Moabite city. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from חור ("hole, cave") and carries the dual ending -ַיִם, indicating "two" or a paired form. Rendering it as "Two-Caves" preserves both the core meaning of the root and the dual grammatical form reflected in the morphology (HNp, proper noun with dual ending). |
