SIBI-P1 Translation H2945-14
their toddlers
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; prefixed conjunction in surface form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun טַף denotes young children characterized by a toddling gait, derived from the root meaning "to toddle." The singular collective noun in construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their toddlers," preserving both the collective sense and the possessive morphology. |
