to-build
To build, to construct, especially in relation to physical structures or settlements; by extension, to establish or found (such as a house, dynasty, city, or altar). Figuratively, to establish or produce offspring, particularly sons (with emphasis on founding a family line or household). The word can also denote repairing or restoring what has been broken or ruined, as well as setting up, making ready, or preparing something for use. The notion of building is often employed idiomatically in relational or social contexts, such as 'building a house' referring to establishing a household or lineage.

daughters of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; feminine plural; construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural feminine construct form denotes multiple female offspring or dependent female members belonging to or associated with another entity. "Daughters of" preserves both the feminine plural morphology and the relational construct state rooted in the concept of those built up from a house or source. |
