| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + noun, feminine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition בְּ means "at/in," and פַּעַם denotes a single stroke, beat, or discrete occurrence derived from the root meaning "to strike" or "to pulse." The singular feminine noun is preserved as a single, countable instance: "a stroke." |
