Morphological NotesCommon noun, plural construct form of דֶּרֶךְ with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe plural noun דְּרָכִים in construct with a 3ms suffix yields "his paths." "Paths" preserves the concrete sense of trodden routes derived from the root meaning "to tread," while allowing for its extended metaphorical sense of conduct or course.
