Morphological NotesHR/Ncmsc/Sp3fs: Noun from root מלך in masculine singular construct state with 3fs pronominal suffix; surface form לְמַלְכָּהּ.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the root's core sense of 'king' from מלך while exactly reflecting the morphology: HR/Ncmsc (noun, common gender, masculine, singular, construct state) links to Sp3fs (3rd person feminine singular suffix), yielding 'to her king' as a bound form indicating possession by a feminine entity. It maintains grammatical gender (her=feminine), number (singular), and person (3fs) without anglicizing beyond fidelity.
