and hail-dappled ones

Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + adjective, masculine plural, absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective derives from the root meaning "hail," evoking a coat patterned as if scattered with hailstones. The masculine plural absolute form is reflected by the plural sense "ones," preserving number while conveying the hail-like mottling.
