his shoulders
| Morphological Notes | Feminine dual noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to bear/carry," denoting the body part that bears loads. The feminine dual form with a 3ms suffix naturally renders as "his shoulders," preserving both the dual number and possessive suffix. |
