their tongue
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; singular construct form with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לָשׁוֹן derives from the root meaning to use the tongue for licking or speaking, referring primarily to the physical tongue and by extension speech. The singular construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their tongue," preserving both number and possession. |
