Nephisim
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural absolute noun; gentilic/proper noun identifying a clan among the Nethinim. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine plural proper noun with an -im ending, denoting a specific clan group. Since the root meaning is uncertain and functions as a gentilic name, the faithful rendering preserves the group identity as a transliterated plural. |
