to your toddlers
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct (collective) + 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix, with prefixed לְ preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | טַף denotes a collective of very young, toddling children derived from the root meaning "to trip or toddle." The singular construct form with a 2nd person masculine plural suffix yields "your toddlers," and the prefixed לְ adds the sense "to/for." |
