Elteqe
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, place name; singular; no discernible internal morphology from standard Hebrew roots. |
| Rendering Rationale | Because the etymology and root are uncertain and likely non-Hebrew, the most faithful root-level rendering is a direct transliteration preserving its identity as a proper place-name. The singular proper noun form is maintained without added meaning. |
