his tongue
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, singular, construct form with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לָשׁוֹן denotes the tongue as the physical organ and by extension speech or language; the 3rd masculine singular suffix specifies possession, yielding "his tongue." The rendering preserves both the root image and the singular possessive morphology. |
