like the lamentation-of

Morphological NotesPreposition כְ (“like/as”) prefixed to a masculine singular construct noun (מִסְפֵּד). The construct state links it to a following noun specifying whose or what kind of lamentation.
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִסְפֵּד derives from the root ספד, meaning to lament or wail in mourning. The form is masculine singular construct (Ncmsc), requiring a following genitive (“lamentation of…”), and the prefixed כְ means “like” or “as,” hence “like the lamentation-of,” preserving both the construct relationship and singular form.
