"־ין" meaning in Hebrew

See ־ין in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Suffix

IPA: /-iːn/ (note: Tiberian) Forms: ־ִין [canonical], -īn [romanization]
Etymology: Mishnaic Hebrew form of ־ִים. Mishnaic Hebrew typically (though not always) changes morphological mem into nun under influence of Aramaic ־ִין (“masculine plural absolute marker”) (ex: נִכְנָסִין (“they (masc) enter”) and תְּרוּמָתָן (“their (masc or fem) terumah/heave offering”)). Note that ־ִין does appear scarcely in late Biblical Hebrew, though certainly under Aramaic influence.
