Root	צפר (ṣ-p-r)
Core Meanings	leaping, springing, prancing, lively movement
Semantic Range	male goat, buck, sacrificial he-goat, symbol of leadership or dominance, mythic or wilderness goat imagery
Conceptual Significance	He-goats were significant in sacrificial systems and pastoral life, and in prophetic imagery (e.g., Daniel 8) they symbolize ruling powers or dominant leaders, reflecting strength and assertive vitality associated with the animal.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וּ + masculine plural construct noun (Ncmpc) from צָפִיר; denotes "he-goats of" in a construct chain.
Rendering Rationale	The noun צָפִיר derives from the root צפר, conveying the idea of lively springing or prancing, hence a male goat noted for such movement. The form is masculine plural construct with a prefixed conjunction ("and"), so the rendering preserves the masculine plural sense ("he-goats") and the construct relation ("of").
