from toddling children
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן + masculine singular common noun, absolute state; collective singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun טַף is a masculine singular collective referring to very young, dependent children characterized by a toddling gait, reflecting the root טפף. The prefixed מִן adds the sense "from," and the collective singular is naturally rendered in English as a plural group term. |
