right-side man
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular gentilic noun (absolute); adjectival form with -ִי indicating association or origin. |
| Rendering Rationale | The gentilic form יְמִינִי derives from the root ימן ("right side/hand") with the adjectival ending -ִי, denoting one belonging to or characterized by the right side. As a masculine singular noun, "right-side man" preserves both the root sense and the gendered morphology. |
