  آدَمِيٍّ — a human. This is a relationship-adjective formed by adding an '-i' ending to a base noun, the pattern Arabic uses to mean 'belonging to / of the kind of', so it labels the figure as human-kind. It completes the 'of' pairing begun by the previous word and sits in the genitive as the second term of that pair.
