the Southlander

Morphological NotesNoun, gentilic adjective functioning substantivally; masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). Indicates a male inhabitant or descendant of Teman.
Rendering Rationaleתֵּימָנִי is a masculine singular gentilic with the definite article, denoting a man from תֵּימָן (Teman). Since תֵּימָן derives from the root ימן meaning "right hand" and by extension "south" (facing east), "the Southlander" preserves both the geographic sense and the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology.
