Morphological NotesFeminine singular noun in construct form (חִידַת־) with 2ms pronominal suffix (ךָ), yielding "your riddle" addressed to a masculine singular referent.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חִידָה derives from the root חוד, conveying the idea of sharpness or mental acuteness expressed in riddling speech. Rendering it as "your pointed riddle" preserves the imagery of sharp, incisive speech while reflecting the feminine singular noun with a second masculine singular pronominal suffix ("your," addressed to a male).
