| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun in construct form with 1cs pronominal suffix (“my”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁמֶרֶת derives from שׁמר (“to guard, keep, observe”) and denotes a charge or responsibility of guarding or observance. The feminine singular form with 1st person common singular suffix yields “my” plus the abstract/concrete duty of guarding. |
