the lesser (feminine)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular, absolute state, with definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from צער, conveying smallness or lesser status. The feminine singular absolute form with the definite article is preserved by rendering it as a definite feminine descriptor, maintaining comparative nuance without fixing one specific contextual sense (age, size, or rank). |
