SIBI-P1 Translation H5992-01
My-People-is-Noble
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name; compound nominal formation: עַם with 1cs suffix ("my people") + adjectival/verbal element from נָדָב functioning predicatively. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines עַם (people) with נָדָב (to be willing, generous, noble) and includes the first-person singular pronominal suffix "my" on עַם, yielding the nominal sense "my people is noble/generous." This preserves the root meanings rather than substituting a conventional Anglicized proper name. |
