like her
| Morphological Notes | Comparative preposition כְּמוֹ with 3rd person feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle כ expresses comparison or resemblance, and the attached 3rd feminine singular suffix specifies the object of comparison as feminine singular. "Like her" preserves both the comparative force and the feminine singular morphology. |
