SIBI-P1 Translation H3389-10
Foundation-of-Wholeness
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, singular; irregular dual-looking ending -ַיִם not functioning as true dual; appears with prefixed conjunction ו and preposition ב in surface forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name likely reflects roots meaning "to found/establish" and "wholeness/peace," traditionally understood as a compound expressing established wholeness. Rendering it as "Foundation-of-Wholeness" preserves this root connection while treating it as a proper name. |
