her father-in-law

Morphological NotesNoun, masculine singular construct + 3rd feminine singular suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חָם denotes a wife’s father (male parent of one’s spouse). The masculine singular construct form with a 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "her father-in-law," preserving both the kinship term and the attached feminine singular pronominal suffix.
