Morphological NotesGentilic noun from פְּלִשְׁתִּי (Pelishtite), masculine plural absolute (HNgmpa). Functions as an ethnic designation for the people of פְּלֶשֶׁת (Pelesheth).
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
