Older ones (elders) are in the city. זְקֵנִים בָּעִיר. The wise one wrote. הֶחָכָם כָּתַב. Adjectives and Word Pairs * Nouns that are joined together in a Word Pair are never separated. Adjectives, whether they are describing the first or second noun, are added after the Word Pair. You can usually tell which noun the adjective describes
