God restores
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name; theophoric compound (אֵל + verbal form of שׁוּב). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a compound of אֵל (God) and שׁוּב (to return, restore), forming a declarative theophoric statement. Rendering it as 'God restores' preserves both root elements and reflects the verbal idea embedded in the name. |
