and ear-of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + noun, common feminine singular construct. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֹזֶן derives from the root אזן, centered on hearing and attentive listening. As a feminine singular construct form with prefixed conjunction, it is rendered "and ear-of," preserving both the construct relationship and the concrete organ tied to the root idea of active hearing. |
