SIBI-P1 Translation H4430-06
kings
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; masculine plural; absolute state; Aramaic form corresponding to Hebrew מֶלֶךְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root מלך meaning "to rule" or "to reign," and in its masculine plural absolute form it denotes multiple male rulers who hold recognized royal authority. "Kings" directly preserves both the root sense of reigning authority and the plural morphology. |
