jurisdiction of
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun; common feminine singular construct form of מְדִינָה. The construct state links it to a following noun, indicating possession or specification ("jurisdiction of..."). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root דין (to judge, govern), with the prefixed מ indicating a place or sphere of action—thus a place of judging or governance. The form is feminine singular construct (ANcfsc), which requires a relational rendering, hence "jurisdiction of," preserving both the governing sense of the root and the construct relationship. |
