her fornications
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix ("her"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural construct form with 3rd feminine singular suffix denotes multiple instances or manifestations belonging to "her." "Fornications" preserves the root זנה and reflects the intensive, habitual sense inherent in זָנוּן while maintaining the plural and possessive morphology. |
