SIBI-P1 H1144-11
Son-of-the-Right-Hand
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; compound formation from בֵּן (son) in construct relationship with יָמִין (right hand). Functions as a personal name, later extended to the tribe and its territory. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines בֵּן (son) and יָמִין (right hand), preserving both root meanings in a transparent compound. As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering reflects a single male figure whose name carries covenantal and positional significance. |
