SIBI-P1 H189-01
Desire (masculine personal name)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Functions as the name of a Midianite chief. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אֱוִי is likely derived from the root אוה (ʾ-w-h), meaning "to desire" or "to long for." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it refers to a male individual; rendering it as "Desire" preserves the root sense while recognizing its function as a personal name. |
