SIBI-P1 H3305-01
Beautiful (City)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (HNp); singular place-name; derived from the adjectival/verbal root יפה ("to be beautiful"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name יָפוֹ (Yāfô) derives from the root יפה (y-p-h), meaning "to be beautiful" or "fair." As a proper noun (HNp), it functions as a singular place-name; rendering it "Beautiful (City)" preserves both its root meaning and its grammatical identity as a singular proper noun. |
