SIBI-P1 H251-25
his brothers
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine noun from the root אח. Form: masculine plural construct (אֲחֵי/אֶחָי) with 3ms suffix ו ("his"), HNcmpc/Sp3ms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָח means "brother" in both literal and extended kinship senses. The form is masculine plural construct with a third masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"), yielding "his brothers," which preserves both the masculine plural number and the possessive relationship indicated in the morphology. |
