like her
| Morphological Notes | Comparative preposition כְּמוֹ with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix; preposition + suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle כ expresses comparison or resemblance (“like, as”), and the 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix הּ specifies the object of comparison as “her.” The rendering preserves both the comparative force and the feminine singular suffix. |
