in the fighting

Morphological NotesPreposition ב ("in") + definite article ה (assimilated) + noun מִלְחָמָה, feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa).
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִלְחָמָה derives from the root לחם, "to fight," and denotes a state or event of combat. The form is feminine singular absolute with the prefixed preposition ב and definite article ("in the"), yielding "in the fighting," which preserves the verbal, action-oriented force of the root while accurately reflecting the singular, definite form.
