strength
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct state (HNcmsc). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes inherent firmness or capability—physical, personal, or divine. As a masculine singular noun in construct state, it conveys "strength of" or "power of" something that follows, so the concise rendering "strength" preserves the root sense while allowing construct linkage. |
