in the mouth of

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in, by") + noun פֶּה (common masculine singular construct). The construct state links the noun to a following genitive, yielding "mouth of."
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition בְּ ("in/by") prefixed to פֶּה in the masculine singular construct state ("mouth of"). The construct form requires a following complement, so "in the mouth of" preserves both the relational construct sense and the concrete imagery of the "mouth" as the organ of speech and expression.
