anointed princes of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state from נְסִיךְ; the construct form requires a following genitive ("of..."). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נְסִיךְ derives from the root נסך, "to pour out," especially in contexts of libation or anointing. As a masculine plural construct (HNcmpc), נְסִיכֵי means "anointed princes of," preserving both the plural masculine form and the construct relationship while reflecting the root idea of one installed or consecrated by pouring/anointing. |
