SIBI-P1 Translation H27-01

My Father Has Judged

Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper name; compound of אב with a first-person singular possessive form and דין.
Rendering RationaleThe name combines אָב (father) with דִּין (to judge), with the first-person singular element implied in אבי (“my father”), yielding a declarative proper name meaning “My Father Has Judged.” This preserves the compound structure and verbal sense inherent in the roots.
