your inner belly
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct with 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֶּטֶן denotes the hollow interior of the body, especially the belly or womb. The construct form with a 2nd masculine singular suffix yields "your," preserving both the possessive morphology and the core idea of an inward bodily cavity. |
