SIBI-P1 H6370-06
the secondary-wives
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ); no pronominal suffix; plural ending ־ִים marks feminine plural in this irregular form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פִּילֶגֶשׁ denotes a woman joined to a man in a recognized but subordinate marital status. The form הַפִּילַגְשִׁים is feminine plural absolute with the definite article, so the rendering "the secondary-wives" preserves both the plural feminine sense and the social nuance of a wife of lesser standing. |
