| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine plural, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form חַוֹּת is the feminine plural construct of חַוָּה, derived from חוה ("to live, dwell"), denoting settlements or encampments. The construct state requires a following possessor, hence "of," and "dwelling-villages" preserves the root connection to habitation. |
