his nose

Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (אַפּ) with 3ms pronominal suffix (וֹ), literally "nose of him."
Rendering RationaleThe noun אַף fundamentally means "nose" or "nostril," from which the figurative sense of anger (from flaring breath) develops. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix ("his"), so "his nose" accurately preserves both the concrete root meaning and the grammatical form.
