his axe
A hand-tool with a broad blade set at a right angle to a handle, used primarily for cutting or splitting wood.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7134-02
his woodcutter’s axe
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, singular construct with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes a utilitarian chopping implement for wood, not a weapon. The construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix requires the possessive rendering "his," preserving singular number and ownership. |
