Morphological Notes	Conjunction וְ ("and") + feminine singular construct noun רוּחַ + 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his").
Rendering Rationale	The noun רוּחַ is a feminine singular noun meaning wind, breath, or spirit. In construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, it means "his spirit"; rendering it "his breath-spirit" preserves the root imagery of moving air as the animating inner force while accurately reflecting the singular form and 3ms possession.
