Core Meaningsto roll, wallow, invade, penetrate, intrude
Semantic Rangea Philistine man; a member of the Philistine people; by extension, a representative of the Philistine culture or military forces

Rendering RationaleThe noun פְּלִשְׁתִּי is a masculine singular gentilic with the definite article, referring to one man from Philistia.
