Jericho
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, singular; place name (HNp). |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a proper place name referring to the fortified city in the Jordan Valley. Because its derivation from ירח ("moon") or from a fragrance-related root is uncertain and speculative, the most faithful root-aware rendering preserves the established proper name without imposing an unverified meaning. |
