in my nose-anger

Rootאנף (ʾ-n-p̄)
Core Meaningsnose, nostril, breathing, anger, wrath
Semantic Rangenose, nostril, face, countenance, anger, wrath, burning displeasure, forbearance (in idioms such as "long of nose" = slow to anger)
Conceptual SignificanceThe use of "nose" as a metonym for anger reflects embodied Hebrew anthropology, where emotion is expressed through physical imagery (flaring nostrils, heated breath). When used of YHWH, it communicates divine wrath in vivid, relational terms while retaining the concrete metaphor of breath and face.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") + noun masculine singular construct אַף + 1cs pronominal suffix ("my"). The construct form with suffix yields "my nose," idiomatically "my anger."
Rendering RationaleThe noun אַף literally means "nose" or "nostril," and by extension "anger" from the imagery of flaring nostrils in wrath. The form is masculine singular with a 1st person common singular suffix and prefixed בְּ ("in"), so "in my nose-anger" preserves both the concrete imagery of the root and the possessive singular morphology.
