gray-haired ones of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural common noun in construct state (Aramaic form), with prefixed conjunction and preposition in the surface form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to turn gray" and denotes those characterized by gray hair. The masculine plural construct form is preserved by rendering it as "gray-haired ones of," reflecting both number and construct state. |
