| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root תעב (“to abhor, detest”) and denotes things regarded as objects of abhorrence. The plural construct form with a 2nd feminine singular suffix is rendered as "your detestable practices," preserving both plurality and possession addressed to a feminine singular subject. |
