a Cush-descended man

Morphological NotesMasculine singular gentilic noun (absolute state), derived from the proper noun כּוּשׁ (Cush) with the -ִי suffix indicating descent or ethnic affiliation.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
