individual man

Morphological NotesCommon noun, masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa). Functions as a standalone masculine singular noun and may serve in construct chains or idiomatic pairings, though here it is absolute.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אִישׁ denotes a single male person viewed as an individual. Rendering it "individual man" preserves both its masculine singular form (HNcmsa) and its core sense of a distinct male person rather than humanity in general.
