SIBI-P1 Translation H7541-03
his thin temple
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state + 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רַקָּה denotes the thin, tender region of the head (the temple), derived from the root meaning “to be thin/soft.” The construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix yields “his,” preserving both the anatomical specificity and the root nuance of thinness. |
