Morphological NotesHNcmsc/Sp3mp: Noun, common gender, masculine, singular, construct state with 3rd person masculine plural suffix (-ām, 'their').
Rendering RationaleThe form מַלְכָּם is a masculine singular construct noun מֶלֶךְ 'king' with 3mp pronominal suffix -ām, directly rendered as 'their king' to preserve the root's core sense of royalty and the morphology's gender (masculine), number (singular noun), and person (3rd masculine plural possessive). This maintains semantic connections to the verbal root מָלַךְ 'to reign' without introducing extraneous connotations. It reflects the standard gloss while emphasizing the possessive relationship.
