chanting sorcerers
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,NMP); identifies multiple male practitioners as the grammatical subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root γοη- (“to chant, lament, enchant”) and the developed sense of a practitioner of incantatory magic. The nominative masculine plural form is preserved with the plural noun “sorcerers.” |
