my bow
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun in construct form with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קֶשֶׁת denotes a curved weapon formed by bending under tension, derived from the root idea of hardness and bending. The 1st person common singular suffix yields the possessive form "my bow," preserving both root sense and morphology. |
