SIBI-P1 G963-01
to/at Date-House (feminine singular place-name)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun; dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS,) in most occurrences, with one nominative feminine singular form (Gr,N,,,,,NFS,). As a first-declension feminine place-name, it follows standard feminine case endings. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from an Aramaic/Hebrew compound meaning "house of dates." The predominant form here is dative feminine singular, which in Greek commonly denotes location, so "to/at Date-House" reflects both the root meaning and the grammatical case. The noun is feminine singular, as indicated by its lexical form and morphology. |
