and we
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + personal pronoun, 1st person common plural (subject form). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the conjunction וַ ("and") with the first person common plural pronoun אֲנַחְנוּ, denoting the collective self including the speaker. "And we" preserves both the conjunction and the plural self-reference inherent in the morphology. |
