SIBI-P1 H3405-07
Moon-City (Jericho)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, singular (HNp). Masculine place name with archaic -וֹ ending. Variants include יְרֵחוֹ and יְרִיחֹה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name יְרִיחוֹ is likely derived from the root ירח ("moon"), preserving the association with the lunar cycle or a moon-deity. As a proper noun (HNp), it is singular and refers to a specific city; the rendering "Moon-City" retains the probable root meaning while identifying it as the historical Jericho. |
