SIBI-P1 Translation H802-41
and their women
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + feminine plural construct noun + 3mp pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is the feminine plural construct of אִשָּׁה with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, yielding "their women." The conjunction וּ adds "and," and the plural feminine form preserves the collective sense without restricting it to marital status. |
