and his flank-side

Rootירך (y-r-k)
Core Meaningsthigh, flank, side, extremity, recess, far part
Semantic Rangethigh, flank of the body, side of a structure, remote part, recess, border, extreme quarter
Conceptual SignificanceOften used for the far sides of the tabernacle, temple, or land, the term conveys the idea of outer limits or hidden recesses, marking boundaries and structural extremities within sacred or territorial space.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") + noun common feminine singular construct (יְרֵכַת) + 3ms pronominal suffix (וֹ), yielding "and his flank/side."
Rendering RationaleThe noun יְרֵכָה derives from the root ירך, denoting the thigh or flank and by extension a side or far extremity. The form is feminine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, so "his flank-side" preserves the singular feminine noun in construct with the possessive "his," and reflects the spatial sense of a side or extremity.
