white ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (used substantivally), masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is masculine plural absolute from לָבָן, an adjective meaning "white." Rendering it as "white ones" preserves both the plural morphology and its adjectival/substantival function derived from the root meaning "to be white." |
