SIBI-P1 H1471-07
massed nations of
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in construct state (mp construct). The construct form links it to a following noun, expressing possession or association ("nations of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גּוֹי derives from a root conveying the idea of a massed body or collective entity. In the masculine plural construct form (HNcmpc), it denotes "nations of" something that follows, so "massed nations of" preserves both the collective sense of the root and the grammatical plural construct relationship. |
