SIBI-P1 H4077-01
the Median man
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic gentilic noun; masculine singular determinate state (with suffixed aleph indicating definiteness). Functions substantivally to denote an individual member of the Median people. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from the proper name מָדַי (Madai), ancestor of the Medes, and functions here as a gentilic noun. The morphology indicates a masculine singular determinate form, so "the Median man" preserves both the singular masculine sense and the definiteness marked in the Aramaic form. |
