princes
A person of high status, dignitary, or leader, particularly one who is an official, noble, or prince; occasionally, a libation or drink offering, especially in poetic or figurative contexts. The primary meaning concerns an individual set apart or invested (often ritually), but in some contexts can refer to an offering poured out as part of religious rites. The word thus carries notions of selected leadership, official investiture, and, rarely, the act of a libation.

installed leaders of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural construct (HNcmpc) from נְסִיךְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural construct form denotes multiple masculine figures who have been 'poured out' or installed into office. "Installed leaders of" preserves the investiture sense of the root נסך and reflects the masculine plural construct state. |
