our women
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun in construct state (נָשֵׁי) with 1st person common plural pronominal suffix (-נוּ), 'our.' |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is the feminine form derived from אישׁ ('man, individual person'), denoting adult female humans. The plural construct form with a 1st person common plural suffix is rendered 'our women,' preserving both number and possession without imposing contextual nuance such as marital status. |
