her tongue
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular construct + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לָשׁוֹן denotes the physical tongue and, by extension, speech or language; here it appears in singular construct form with a 3rd feminine singular suffix, yielding the possessive sense "her tongue." The rendering preserves both the concrete organ and its speech-related implications rooted in לשן. |
