SIBI-P1 H4296-07

his stretched-out bed

Morphological NotesNoun, common feminine singular construct (מִטַּת) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (-וֹ), yielding "his bed."
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִטָּה derives from the root נָטָה ("to stretch out"), referring to something extended or spread out for reclining. Rendering it as "stretched-out bed" preserves this root imagery, while "his" reflects the third masculine singular pronominal suffix (Sp3ms) attached to the feminine singular construct form.
