SIBI-P1 H8197-01
to Shephupham (the Serpent-like One)
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (Np) with prefixed preposition ל ("to/for"); occurs once as a clan or personal name among the Israelites. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name שְׁפוּפָם appears to derive from the same root as שְׁפִיפֹן (viper), reflecting a serpent-like or gliding quality. The prefixed ל ("to/for") is preserved in the rendering as "to," and the proper masculine singular form is retained as a personal name while drawing out its likely root sense. |
