her mother-by-marriage

Morphological NotesHebrew noun, common feminine singular construct (חֲמוֹת) with 3rd feminine singular suffix (־הּ), yielding "her mother-in-law." The construct form links the noun to its pronominal possessor.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֲמוֹת is a feminine singular construct form meaning "mother-in-law," here with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix ("her"). Rendering it as "her mother-by-marriage" preserves the kinship bond implied by the root חם (in-law relation) while accurately reflecting the feminine singular form and the possessive suffix.
