Morphological Notes	Aramaic noun, common feminine plural, determined (emphatic) state, with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). Corresponds to Hebrew צִפּוֹר. Occurs once in this form.
Rendering Rationale	The noun derives from the root צפר, associated with chirping or twittering, highlighting the characteristic sound of birds. The form is feminine plural in the determined (definite) state with a prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”), hence “and the … birds.” The rendering preserves both the plural definiteness and the root’s auditory nuance.
