Archelaus
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, masculine, singular; proper name functioning as subject form. |
| Rendering Rationale | As a nominative masculine singular proper noun, the word functions as a personal name. Although etymologically meaning 'people-ruler,' it is used strictly as a historical name and is therefore rendered by transliteration. |
