mûwth
of the dead
To die, to cease living; to come to the end of life through natural, violent, or judicial means. Functions both as an intransitive verb (to die, to perish) and, in derived stems, as a causative (to put to death, to kill). The semantic range extends metaphorically to describe the loss of vitality, the end of lineage, or spiritual death, and is used idiomatically for expressing certainty ('to surely die').

SIBI-P1 Translation H4191-52
the dead ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | As a Qal active participle masculine plural from מות, the form denotes those characterized by the action of dying—those who have died. Rendering it as "the dead ones" preserves the verbal-root connection while reflecting the masculine plural participial form. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
the dead
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Although 'the dead ones' is possible, in context the idiomatic English phrase is 'the dead', and the SILEX definition allows for 'the dead' for deceased persons; 'ones' is unnecessary in this context. |
