In the example below, מֹשֶׁ֗ה "Moses" is a proper noun (because it is a

Biblical Hebrew does not have capital letters to signify proper names.
Proper nouns always appear in the :ref:`absolute state<state_absolute>`
and are considered :ref:`3rd person<person_third>`
:ref:`singular<number_singular>`
