their young
A young animal, specifically the offspring or cub of a predatory animal such as a lion, bear, or wolf; especially used for a lion's whelp, denoting its youth and dependence. More broadly, used for the young offspring of other wild beasts in certain contexts. The word indicates both the physical smallness and immaturity of the animal, as well as its association with the lair or den where it is sheltered by its mother.

their cubs
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural construct + 3rd person feminine plural suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | גּוּר denotes a dependent cub or whelp, especially of predatory animals, reflecting the idea of one that abides in the lair. The masculine plural construct with 3rd feminine plural suffix yields "their cubs," preserving number and pronominal possession. |

their young
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Their cubs' is accurate, but 'their young' is more general and better fits both poetic usage and SILEX definition as applied in context. 'Cubs' can be misleading since jackals and ostriches aren't generally called cubs. |
