wage of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to hire" or "to reward," and denotes the payment resulting from such hiring. The construct singular form requires a relational sense, hence "wage of," indicating compensation belonging to or resulting from another party or action. |
