Footnotes
*Yeratzzu dallim* — 'they appease/seek favour from the poor/weak ones' — is a bitter reversal. *Dallim* refers to the economically thin and socially vulnerable. The children who once enjoyed stolen privilege now have to seek goodwill from the very class their father crushed. *Ono*, translated 'plunder' or 'wealth,' can also mean 'his vigour/strength' — his whole capacity for accumulation comes back to haunt his family. FOG keeps the focus on the children seeking favour; FOG Message folds in the generational consequence more explicitly.
