and for our toddling-ones
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition לְ + masculine singular noun in construct (טַף) with 1cp pronominal suffix ("our"); though grammatically singular, it functions collectively for children or dependents. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun טַף derives from a root associated with small, tripping or toddling movement, hence referring to little children. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 1st person common plural suffix, functioning as a collective—thus rendered with the possessive "our" and expressed in English as a natural plural to reflect the collective sense. |
