coastlands of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural, construct state (HNcmpc). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אִי denotes coastal or transmarine lands; in the masculine plural construct form (אִיֵּי), it requires a following genitive, hence "coastlands of." This preserves both the geographic sense and the plural construct morphology. |
