to the projecting-pegs
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לַ (to/for the) + common noun, plural absolute; masculine/feminine form, here plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַסְמֵר derives from the root סמר, describing something that projects or stands erect, hence a peg or nail. The plural absolute form with prefixed לַ is rendered "to the," preserving both the preposition and the plural morphology. |
