their teeth
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, dual number, construct state + 3mp pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to sharpen" and denotes a sharp, pointed tooth. The dual construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their teeth," preserving both the number (dual) and the pronominal possession. |
