and her claws
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine plural construct + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix, with prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to claw, scratch, seize," and denotes hard keratinous protrusions used for grasping or tearing. The feminine plural construct with a 3fs suffix is preserved as "her claws," and the prefixed conjunction is rendered as "and." |
