and Yonah
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + masculine singular proper noun (Np). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine proper name derived from the noun 'dove' (yonah), here functioning as a personal name. The prefixed conjunction וְ is preserved as 'and,' and the name is transliterated to retain its identity as a proper noun rather than translating it as the bird. |
