Exegesis
The name ben-ammi {בֶּן־עַמִּי | ben-ʿam-mî} functions eponymously, rendered literally ‘son of my people’, and the appositive clause hu avi venei-ammon {ה֛וּא אֲבִי בְנֵֽי־עַמּ֖וֹן | hûʾ ʾă-vî bə-nê-ʿam-môn} clarifies his role as progenitor.
In context — Genesis 19:38
And the younger also gave birth to a son, and she called his name Ben-Ammi. He is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.
