her cherished things
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix ("her"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַחְמָד denotes that which is desired or treasured, derived from חמד (to desire, take pleasure in). The masculine plural construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "her cherished things," preserving both plurality and possession. |
