our matter
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state + 1st person common plural pronominal suffix ("our"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root דבר, originally denoting something spoken and extending to any matter or affair. The construct singular with 1st person common plural suffix yields "our matter," preserving both singular form and possessive morphology. |
