my delight
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֵפֶץ denotes desire or delight, either as the feeling or the object desired. The masculine singular form with 1st person common singular suffix yields "my delight," preserving both the root sense of desired pleasure and the attached possessive. |
