heat-of

Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in construct state (cfsc) from the root יחם ("to be hot, to grow warm"). In construct, it links to a following noun ("heat of..."). The same consonantal form may also designate the proper noun חֲמָת (Hamath), but the lexeme here reflects the common noun חֵמָה.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֵמָה is a feminine singular noun meaning "heat" in both literal and figurative senses. The morphology HNcfsc indicates feminine singular construct, which is reflected by rendering it "heat-of," preserving its construct relationship and singular feminine form while maintaining the root sense of burning heat that underlies figurative meanings like wrath.
