SIBI-P1 H5707-07
witness-bearers
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine noun, plural absolute (עֵדִים); from the singular עֵד (ʿêd), "witness." No suffix; masculine plural form indicated by ִים ending. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵד derives from the root עוד, which conveys the act of bearing witness or giving testimony. Rendering it as "witness-bearers" preserves the active, attesting sense of the root while accurately reflecting the masculine plural absolute form (HNcmpa). |
