SIBI-P1 Translation H3684-07
thick-headed ones
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural adjective used substantivally; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root idea of "thickness" extended metaphorically to intellectual and moral dullness. The masculine plural absolute form is preserved with the plural "ones," conveying a group characterized by such thick-minded obstinacy. |
