like these
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כָּ ("like/as") prefixed to demonstrative pronoun אֵלֶּה; common gender, plural, proximal demonstrative. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base form אֵלֶּה is a proximal plural demonstrative meaning "these." The prefixed כָּ preposition adds comparison (“like/as”), so the full form means "like these," preserving both the demonstrative force and the plural morphology. |
