the Zemarite
| Morphological Notes | Noun, gentilic; masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular gentilic with the definite article, indicating a specific male member of the Zemarite clan. The rendering preserves its function as a place-based ethnonym derived from צמר, without importing the root’s lexical sense of wool or shearing into the gentilic usage. |
