Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") + noun common feminine singular רוּחַ with 1cs pronominal suffix ("my"). The noun is grammatically feminine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רוּחַ (a feminine singular noun) denotes wind or breath and, by extension, the animating spirit. Rendering it as "breath-wind" preserves the concrete root imagery while allowing for its figurative sense of inner spirit. The form includes the prefixed conjunction "and" (וְ) and a 1st person common singular suffix, accurately reflected in "and my."
