and Lightning
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + proper masculine singular name (Np); no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction ו ("and") prefixed to the proper name בָּרָק, which derives from the root meaning "lightning" or "to flash." Rendering it as "Lightning" preserves the root sense embedded in the personal name while maintaining its function as a proper noun. |
