the enclosed-court

Morphological NotesNoun common singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ/הֶ). The noun is grammatically common gender (used as masculine or feminine in Hebrew), here singular and definite.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חָצֵר derives from the root חצר, meaning "to enclose" or "to surround." Rendering it as "the enclosed-court" preserves the core idea of a space defined by enclosure while reflecting the definite article ("the") and the singular absolute form indicated by the morphology (HTd/Ncbsa).
