their builder-sons

Morphological NotesHNcmpc/Sp3mp: Noun (H) common masculine plural construct with 3rd masculine plural suffix; functions as a genitive-bound form meaning 'sons of them/their sons'.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the root בנה 'to build' by incorporating 'builder' to evoke sons as family name builders, while 'their' directly reflects the 3mp pronominal suffix הֶם; the masculine plural construct form HNcmpc is maintained via 'builder-sons' using masculine plural nomenclature consistent with English kinship terms.
