in my hollow palm

Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") + noun כַּף (common feminine singular construct) + 1cs pronominal suffix; literally "in the palm of me."
Rendering RationaleThe noun כַּף derives from the root כפף, conveying the idea of something bent or curved, hence the hollow of the hand. Rendering it "hollow palm" preserves this root imagery, while "my" reflects the 1st person common singular pronominal suffix and "in" represents the prefixed preposition בְּ.
