SIBI-P1 Translation H7991-07
triad officers
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural common noun in the absolute state from שָׁלִישׁ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁלִישׁ derives from the root meaning "to be three," denoting one associated with a triad—originally the third man in a chariot crew and by extension a high-ranking officer. The masculine plural absolute form שָׁלִשִׁים is therefore rendered "triad officers," preserving both the numerical root sense and the plural morphology. |
