his head

Morphological NotesNoun, masculine singular, construct state with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רֵאשׁ in construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix yields a possessed form meaning "head of him," naturally rendered "his head." This preserves the core root sense of the uppermost or leading part while reflecting the singular masculine morphology and attached suffix.
