his crushing-molars
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun in construct state with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to chew, bite, crush" and denotes the large grinding teeth used for that action. The feminine plural construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix yields "his crushing-molars." |
