right-hand-impeded
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, construct; passive adjectival formation indicating a state of being impeded. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the passive adjectival form derived from the root meaning "to bind, restrict, impede," describing one whose right hand is restricted. The masculine singular adjective in construct state is preserved without adding contextual elements. |
