| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition עַל + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction ו (and) prefixed to the preposition עַל (over/upon) with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix "them." "Over them" preserves the root sense of elevation or position above while retaining the plural masculine object and conjunction. |
