SIBI-P1 Translation H5718-01
Yah has adorned
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (theophoric), formed from verbal root עדה + suffix יָהּ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the verb עָדָה (to adorn, ornament) with the theophoric suffix יָהּ (Yah), yielding the declarative sense "Yah has adorned." This preserves both the root meaning and the theophoric morphology of the masculine personal name. |
