her habitual fornications

Morphological NotesMasculine plural noun in construct state (זְנוּנֵי) with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix; derived from the intensive form of זנה.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from זנה and, in its intensive plural form, denotes repeated or persistent acts of fornication. The masculine plural construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "her habitual fornications," preserving both plurality and possession.
