Hidden-land (Elam)
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); also attested as a proper noun (HNp). Functions as a singular proper name without pronominal suffixes. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name עֵילָם is likely derived from the root עלם, meaning "to hide" or "be concealed," suggesting the sense of a distant or hidden land. The morphology indicates a masculine singular absolute noun, functioning as a proper name; the rendering preserves its singular form while making the root meaning transparent. |
