SIBI-P1 Translation H3383-09
Descender
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (toponym); no pronominal suffix or article in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root ירד (“to descend”) with a nominal -ן ending, forming a toponym meaning “the Descender,” reflecting the river’s steep downward course. This preserves both the root sense and its function as a proper name. |
