SIBI-P1 Translation H3383-05
to Yarden the Descender
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (toponym) יַרְדֵּן with prefixed preposition לְ ('to'). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name יַרְדֵּן derives from the root ירד ('to descend') and likely means 'the Descender,' reflecting the river’s steep downward course. The prefixed לְ preposition is preserved as 'to,' and the proper name form is retained while making its root sense explicit. |
