young male donkeys
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine plural absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַיִר denotes a young male donkey, especially one not yet fully mature or broken. The plural masculine absolute form עֲיָרִים is therefore rendered "young male donkeys," preserving both number and gender while reflecting the primary zoological sense derived from the root idea of youthful vigor or being roused. |
