consecrated ones, princes, or crowned ones (uncertain)
This uncertain plural noun with suffix appears only in Nahum 3:17, apparently referring to Nineveh's leaders—perhaps princes, crowned officials, or consecrated ones. The form and etymology are disputed: it may relate to consecration/anointing, or to crowning. Ancient versions and modern scholars remain divided, with some leaving it untranslated. The parallel with 'marshals' suggests military or civil officials, but the precise rank or role this term designated is lost.

1. sense 1 — Nahum 3:17 denounces Nineveh's 'מִנְּזָרַיִךְ' who flee like locusts—apparently leaders or officials. Translations vary wildly: English 'guards,' Spanish 'príncipes' (princes), reflecting genuine uncertainty. BDB connects to consecration, others to crowns ('crowned ones'), while some scholars leave it untranslated. The context pairs them with 'marshals,' indicating leadership, but whether these were royal guards, nobles, or anointed officials remains textually and lexically unclear. 1×
