| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + noun common feminine plural construct (מִשְׁפְּחוֹת) from מִשְׁפָּחָה. Construct state indicates a following genitive relationship (“families of…”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁפְּחוֹת is feminine plural construct, so it is rendered with an explicit plural form (“clan-groups”) and the construct sense (“of”) preserved. The prefixed conjunction וּ is reflected by “and.” “Clan-groups” retains the idea of an extended family unit that has spread out from a common source, reflecting the root sense of expansion. |
