mûwth

dead

To die, to cease living; to come to the end of life through natural, violent, or judicial means. Functions both as an intransitive verb (to die, to perish) and, in derived stems, as a causative (to put to death, to kill). The semantic range extends metaphorically to describe the loss of vitality, the end of lineage, or spiritual death, and is used idiomatically for expressing certainty ('to surely die').

Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine plural, absolute state.

SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

are dead

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleContext requires a predicative rendering: 'are dead' rather than 'the dead ones,' which is nominal. This better reflects Hebrew participial use as predicate here.
