SIBI-P1 H191-01
perverse fool-man
| Morphological Notes | Adjective functioning substantivally; masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). Used as a noun to denote a single male characterized by moral perversity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root meaning "to be perverse" or morally twisted. Rendering it as "perverse fool-man" preserves the idea that this is not mere intellectual ignorance but a morally distorted man. The masculine singular absolute form (HAamsa) is reflected in the singular "man." |
