SIBI-P1 H5288-05

the young-lads

Morphological NotesNoun common masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ); from lemma נַעַר (H5288).
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root נער, conveying the idea of youthful stirring or vigor. The form הַנְּעָרִים is masculine plural absolute with the definite article, so "the young-lads" preserves both the definiteness ("the") and the masculine plural sense, while retaining the youthful, active nuance embedded in the root.
