SIBI-P1 H1111-05
Devastator
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Personal name of a Moabite king; no pronominal suffixes or verbal stem markers apply. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name בָּלָק derives from the verbal root בלק, meaning "to lay waste" or "to devastate." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering "Devastator" preserves both the root sense and the grammatical form of a singular male personal name. |
