her master
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּעַל denotes a possessor or one who exercises authority or dominion. The masculine singular construct form with a 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "her master," preserving both the ownership/dominion sense of the root and the attached pronominal suffix. |
