twisted ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural absolute; intensive form functioning descriptively of persons characterized by twisted or perverse qualities. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the intensive adjectival form derived from the root meaning "to twist" or "to distort." The masculine plural morphology is preserved by "ones," indicating multiple persons characterized as twisted or perverted. |
