| Morphological Notes | Adjective, cardinal number; masculine plural; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine plural absolute form of the cardinal numeral conveys multiple instances of 'one.' Rendering it as 'single ones' preserves both the root sense of singularity/unity and the plural morphology. |
