| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root meaning "to be hard/severe/difficult" and in masculine singular construct form it denotes a quality bound to a following noun (e.g., "hard-of …"). The rendering preserves the core sense of hardness or severity while reflecting its construct linkage. |
