Morphological NotesHNcmpa: Hebrew Noun, common (masculine), plural, absolute state; irregular plural derived from אִישׁ with nun infix (אֲנָשִׁים), featuring variant cantillation marks across occurrences.
Rendering RationaleThe form אֲנָשִׁים is a masculine plural noun (HNcmpa) functioning as the irregular plural of אִישׁ, denoting adult males or persons in collective contexts; 'men' preserves this grammatical gender and number while reflecting the core sense of human individuals as per standard glosses. This rendering maintains semantic ties to its etymological connection with אֱנוֹשׁ ('mankind') without introducing unrelated root imagery.
