clan-chief
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). No pronominal suffix; functions as a title or designation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אַלּוּף is a masculine singular absolute form derived from the root אלף, conveying the idea of one who is familiar, trained, or closely associated. "Clan-chief" preserves the singular masculine sense and reflects the development from "one closely associated or trained" to a recognized leader within a kinship group. |
