her king
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מֶלֶךְ denotes a male sovereign or ruler from the root meaning "to reign." In construct form with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix, it yields "her king," preserving both the masculine singular noun and the feminine possessive suffix. |
