Morphological NotesPreposition ל with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun common feminine singular absolute (חוֹמָה). No pronominal suffix; definite by article assimilation.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חוֹמָה (feminine singular absolute) derives from a root conveying the idea of joining or enclosing for protection. The prefixed לַ combines the preposition ל ("to") with the definite article, yielding "to the." "Enclosing-wall" preserves the root sense of joined protective structure while reflecting the feminine singular noun.
