Morphological NotesHNcmsc: Hebrew Noun, masculine singular, construct state with first-person singular possessive suffix. The construct form אֲבִי shows the word in its bound state before a possessor. The vowel pattern (שְׁוָ under the aleph, חִירֶק under the bet) reflects the construct singular form of אָב.
Rendering RationaleThe morphology HNcmsc indicates a masculine singular construct noun with a first-person singular possessive suffix (-י), literally 'father of me.' The rendering 'my father' preserves both the root meaning (paternal relationship) and the grammatical person (first-person singular possessor), maintaining the intimate, relational sense of the Hebrew.
