SIBI-P1 Translation H289-01

My-Brother-is-a-Share

Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper name (HNp); compound theophoric/metaphorical formation from אָח with first-person singular suffix and a noun from מָנָה.
Rendering RationaleThe name combines אָח (brother) with a form derived from מָנָה (portion, share), yielding the possessive sense “my brother” plus the concept of an allotted share. Rendering it as “My-Brother-is-a-Share” preserves both root elements and reflects the personal-name morphology.
