Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun in construct state (HNcmpc) from שַׂר. The construct form שָׂרֵי indicates "princes of" or "rulers of," requiring a following genitive.
Rendering RationaleThe noun שַׂר derives from the root שׂרר, "to rule" or "exercise dominion." The form שָׂרֵי is masculine plural in construct ("princes of…"), so "ruling-princes of" preserves both the plural masculine leadership sense and the root idea of active governance, while reflecting the construct relationship.
