SIBI-P1 H2227-01

the Rising-one clansman

Morphological NotesNoun, gentilic masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ + זַרְחִי). Derived from the proper name זֶרַח (Zerach/Zerah), itself from the root זרח. Indicates membership in a clan or lineage.
Rendering Rationaleזַרְחִי is a masculine singular gentilic formed from the personal name זֶרַח ("Rising" or "Dawning One"), itself derived from the root זרח (to rise, shine). The definite article הַ and masculine singular form (Ngmsa) are preserved by rendering it "the ... clansman," clearly marking a single male descendant of the Rising One.
