his roundabout paths
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (מַעְגְּלֹת) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (-ָיו), meaning "his." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַעְגָּל derives from the root עגל, conveying roundness or circular motion, and refers to a path marked by such movement. The masculine plural construct with 3ms suffix is preserved as "his" and rendered in plural form, while "roundabout" reflects the root idea of circularity inherent in the term. |
