SIBI-P1 H4713-06
Mitsrayim (the Two Straits)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine dual form (ending -ַיִם), functioning as a singular geographic name though morphologically dual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name מִצְרַיִם is a proper noun in a dual form, reflecting the -ַיִם ending. Rendering it as "Mitsrayim (the Two Straits)" preserves both its identity as a place name and its dual morphology, while drawing attention to its root sense of narrowness or confinement, traditionally associated with Upper and Lower Egypt. |
