my eye
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct + 1st common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root עין meaning "eye" or "seeing." As a feminine singular construct with a first common singular suffix, it is rendered "my eye," preserving both singular number and the attached possessive. |
