their living-creature
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct + 3mp pronominal suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from חיה (“to live, be alive”) and in the feminine singular denotes a living being or animate creature. The construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields “their living-creature,” preserving both singular number and possession. |
