SIBI-P1 H2543-06
our red male-donkeys
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in construct form (חֲמֹרֵי) with 1st person common plural pronominal suffix (נוּ), yielding "our male-donkeys." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֲמוֹר derives from the root חמר, associated with redness or a ruddy hue, likely referring to the animal’s dun-red coloring. The form is masculine plural in construct with a 1st person common plural suffix, thus "our," and the rendering preserves both the plural number and the male designation inherent in the term. |
