SIBI-P1 H5984-01
Ammonite man
| Morphological Notes | Gentilic adjective/noun formed from the proper noun עַמּוֹן (Ammon) with the -ִי ending; masculine singular absolute form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a masculine singular gentilic noun (HNgmsa), denoting one male member of the people descended from Ammon. Rendering it "Ammonite man" preserves both the ethnic identity tied to the root idea of "people/kin" (עם) and the masculine singular grammatical form. |
