SIBI-P1 H113-04
his masters
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in construct (אֲדֹנֵי > אֲדֹנָיו) with 3ms suffix; from אָדוֹן (lord, master). The plural form can denote multiple human superiors or function as a plural of majesty depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine plural in construct form with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"). Rendering it "his masters" preserves both the plural masculine form and the possessive relationship, while reflecting the root idea of exercised authority and rule inherent in אדון. |
