Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun עַם in construct form with 1cs pronominal suffix ("-י"), yielding "my people." Though singular in form, it is a collective noun referring to a group.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a gathered kinship community or people as a unified body. The form עַמִּי is masculine singular construct with a 1st person common singular suffix, meaning "my," so "my kin-people" preserves both the collective sense of a gathered community and the personal possessive relationship expressed in the morphology.
