Jairus
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, masculine, singular; proper name functioning as the subject form. |
| Rendering Rationale | This is a nominative singular masculine proper noun referring to a specific individual. As a personal name transliterated from Hebrew, it is best rendered directly as "Jairus," preserving its status as a name rather than translating its etymological meaning. |
