SIBI-P1 H2543-04
their red male-donkeys
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural construct noun (חֲמֹרֵי) from חֲמוֹר with 3mp pronominal suffix (הֶם) = "their." The base noun is masculine and denotes a male donkey. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֲמוֹר derives from the root חמר, likely referring to a reddish or dun coloration. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"), so the rendering preserves plurality and possession while reflecting the probable root sense of reddish coloration and the specifically male animal. |
