Amalekite
A member or descendant of the people known as Amalek, i.e., an individual belonging to the ethnic group traditionally identified as Amalekites, understood as a group dwelling primarily in the Negev and southern regions adjacent to ancient Israelite territories. In a broader sense, the term may refer collectively to the people of Amalek as a social or ethnic entity. The term explicitly identifies lineage (patronymic) rather than territorial or religious affiliation.

Amalek descendant
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular gentilic noun (nisbe form) in the absolute state, indicating an individual identified by descent from Amalek. |
| Rendering Rationale | The nisbe (-י) form creates a masculine singular gentilic noun denoting a person defined by lineage from Amalek. "Amalek descendant" preserves the patronymic force rather than merely indicating geography or political identity. |
