SIBI-P1 H5892-59

and watch-cities

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + noun common feminine plural absolute (Ncfpa). No pronominal suffix; plural form עָרִים from singular עִיר.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עִיר (feminine plural absolute here) derives from a root associated with wakefulness or vigilance, referring to a settled place kept under watch or guard. Rendering it "watch-cities" preserves the underlying idea of guarded vigilance while accurately reflecting the feminine plural form with the prefixed conjunction "and."
