| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְ ('as/like') + masculine singular common noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The prefixed כְ marks comparison ('as/like'), and the masculine singular construct form אִישׁוֹן requires a following genitive ('of'). 'Pupil' reflects the lexicalized meaning derived from 'little man' seen in the eye. |
