and hail-dappled ones
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + adjective, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
