Exegesis
The independent pronoun hu {הוּא | hûʾ} ‘he’ introduces a copular nominal clause hu avi-Moav {הוּא אֲבִי־מוֹאָב | hûʾ ’ă-vî-mō-’āḇ}, where the construct chain avi-Moav denotes the eponymous ancestor of Moab’s people.
In context — Genesis 19:37
And the firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
