my established base
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct state with 1st person common singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כֵּן denotes that which is fixed or established—a base or pedestal. In masculine singular construct with a 1st person singular suffix, it yields "my established base," preserving both the root sense of firmness and the possessive morphology. |
