SIBI-P1 Translation H289-01
My-Brother-is-a-Share
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (HNp); compound theophoric/metaphorical formation from אָח with first-person singular suffix and a noun from מָנָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
