| Morphological Notes | Noun, common gender, plural, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to enclose or fence in," and in the plural construct form it denotes multiple enclosed spaces belonging to or associated with what follows. "Enclosures of" preserves both the plural number and the construct relationship while retaining the root sense of bounded space. |
