one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, cardinal number; masculine singular; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is masculine singular absolute of the cardinal numeral derived from the root meaning 'to be one, to unite.' The rendering 'one' preserves both the singular count and the underlying concept of unity inherent in the root. |

each one
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The Hebrew אֶחָד in this type of plural description functions distributively; 'each one' is contextually precise, while P1's 'one' is too generic here. |
