Naphtuchim
| Morphological Notes | Noun, gentilic; masculine plural; absolute state; proper noun referring to a people-group. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a foreign proper noun occurring in masculine plural form to denote a distinct people-group. Retaining the ethnonym preserves its status as a collective tribal designation without imposing an artificial Hebrew root meaning. |
