senseless man
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular adjective, absolute state; used substantivally to denote a type of person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term denotes a person characterized by folly and moral obtuseness, not mere intellectual limitation. The masculine singular adjective is rendered substantivally as "senseless man" to preserve both its gender and its function as a type of person marked by habitual folly. |
