SIBI-P1 Translation H1296-01
Yah-has-blessed
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name) formed from the verbal root ברך with the theophoric suffix יָהּ (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root ברך (to bless) with the theophoric element Yah, forming a verbal-theological statement meaning "Yah has blessed." This preserves the root’s primary sense of blessing and reflects its function as a masculine personal name. |
