Morphological NotesAdjective, feminine plural, absolute state; Aramaic reduplicated form of רב for intensification.
Rendering RationaleThe reduplicated adjective from רבב intensifies the idea of greatness, denoting distinguished or high-ranking status. The feminine plural absolute form is reflected by the plural "ones," preserving number while conveying elevated rank rather than mere size.
