SIBI-P1 Translation H568-03
to Yah-has-said
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לַ ('to/for') prefixed to masculine singular proper name אֲמַרְיָה (theophoric personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אֲמַרְיָה combines the root אמר (to say, speak) with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah), meaning 'Yah has said' or 'Yah speaks.' The prefixed לַ marks the preposition 'to,' so the full form is rendered 'to Yah-has-said,' preserving both the root meaning and the morphology. |
