upon her
| Morphological Notes | Preposition עַל with 3rd person feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition derives from the root idea of ascent or elevation and most basically conveys position over or upon something. The 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix requires the rendering "her," yielding "upon her" in a root-faithful form. |
