son
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; masculine singular; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine singular absolute noun denotes a male offspring—literally one "built" from the household. Rendering it as "son" preserves both the primary lexical sense and the root concept of building a family line. |
