SIBI-P1 H6430-05
the Invaders
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) + masculine plural gentilic noun in the absolute state (Ngmpa). The base form פְּלִשְׁתִּי is a patronymic/ethnic term meaning an inhabitant of פְּלֶשֶׁת (Peleshet). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פְּלִשְׁתִּי is a gentilic derived from the root פלשׁ, which carries the sense of penetrating or invading. Rendered as "the Invaders," this preserves the definite article (הַ) and the masculine plural absolute form indicated by the morphology (Ngmpa), while reflecting the root’s underlying sense rather than merely transliterating the ethnic name. |
