SIBI-P1 H6430-10
Invader-men (Pelishtites)
| Morphological Notes | Gentilic noun from פְּלִשְׁתִּי (Pelishtite), masculine plural absolute (HNgmpa). Functions as an ethnic designation for the people of פְּלֶשֶׁת (Pelesheth). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פְּלִשְׁתִּים is a masculine plural gentilic in the absolute state, referring to the male members of the people group descended from or associated with פְּלֶשֶׁת. Rendering it "Invader-men" preserves the likely root sense of פלשׁ (to penetrate or invade) while reflecting the masculine plural form indicated by the morphology. |
