Morphological Notes	Feminine singular construct form of דִּבְרָה (dibrâh), from the root דבר. Appears in construct to govern a following noun ("matter of …"). Occurs in both Hebrew and Aramaic-influenced contexts (HNcfsc / ANcfsc).
Rendering Rationale	The noun derives from the root דבר ("to speak"), whose core sense extends from "word" to "matter" or "affair." As a feminine singular construct form (cfsc), דִּבְרַת requires a genitive relationship, best reflected in English by "matter-of," preserving both the root idea of a spoken matter and the construct linkage.
