the attestation
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular absolute with definite article (הָ); abstract -וּת (-ût) formation from עד. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵדוּת is a feminine singular abstract form built on the root עד ('to witness'). "The attestation" preserves the formal, evidentiary sense of a declared or recorded witness while reflecting the definite article and singular abstract morphology. |
