SIBI-P1 Translation H3101-03
Yahweh has supported
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (contracted form of יְהוֹאָשׁ), incorporating a theophoric prefix and verbal root element. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the theophoric prefix יו־ (short for Yahweh) with a verbal element from the root אוש, conveying support or refuge. Rendering it as "Yahweh has supported" preserves both the divine subject and the root’s core sense in a verbal form appropriate to a theophoric name. |
