SIBI-P1 H3569-03
a Cush-descended man
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular gentilic noun (absolute state), derived from the proper noun כּוּשׁ (Cush) with the -ִי suffix indicating descent or ethnic affiliation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כּוּשִׁי is a masculine singular gentilic form meaning one belonging to or descended from Cush. Rendering it as "a Cush-descended man" preserves both the patronymic/root connection to כּוּשׁ (Cush) and the masculine singular grammatical form indicated by HNgmsa. |
