SIBI-P1 H2945-06
toddler-kin
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; used collectively to denote a group (typically young children) as a single unit. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun טַף derives from the root טפף, conveying the idea of light or tripping steps, characteristic of small children. Though grammatically masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), it functions as a collective noun, so "toddler-kin" preserves both the singular grammatical form and the collective sense of a group defined by their toddling gait. |
