SIBI-P1 H894-04
to Babel (Confusion)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (“to/toward”) + proper noun feminine singular בָּבֶל (Babel). No article; directional sense indicated by לְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְבָבֶל consists of the preposition לְ (“to, toward”) attached to the proper noun בָּבֶל (Babel). The name derives from the root בלל, meaning “to mix, confuse,” so rendering it as “Babel (Confusion)” preserves the root sense, while “to” accurately reflects the prefixed preposition and the singular proper noun form. |
