my eyes
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, dual form in construct with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַיִן in the dual form with a 1st person singular suffix denotes "my eyes," preserving both the natural dual number (pair of eyes) and the possessive suffix. The rendering keeps the concrete anatomical sense rooted in seeing and perception. |
