drunken man
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular adjective (absolute), functioning as a substantive; active participial formation from שכר. |
| Rendering Rationale | Derived from the root meaning "to become drunk," this masculine singular form functions substantivally to denote a man in a state of intoxication or characterized by it. "Drunken man" preserves both the root sense and the masculine singular morphology. |
