| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular, construct state (HNcfsc); from קִדְמָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קִדְמַת is the feminine singular construct form of קִדְמָה, derived from קדם (“to be in front, to precede”). As a construct noun, it denotes "the front" or "eastern region" of something, preserving both the directional sense (east as the forward-facing direction) and the relational construct state ("of"). |
