Evil-Merodak

Morphological NotesMasculine singular absolute form functioning as a proper name element within a compound royal name.
Rendering RationaleAlthough morphologically tagged as a masculine singular adjective, this form represents the Hebrew adaptation of Akkadian Amēl within the proper royal name Amēl-Marduk. The rendering preserves its identity as a masculine singular proper name rather than the unrelated Hebrew adjective "fool."
