SIBI-P1 H6430-02
Invaders
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural gentilic noun in the absolute state; derived from פְּלֶשֶׁת (Peleshet). The -ִים ending marks masculine plural. Used ethnically of the people inhabiting the coastal region southwest of Israel. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a masculine plural gentilic (HNgmpa), referring to a people group descended from or associated with פְּלֶשֶׁת (Peleshet). Rendering it as "Invaders" preserves the likely root sense of פלש (to intrude or invade) while accurately reflecting the masculine plural form of the Hebrew word. |
