| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; feminine plural construct from מוֹסָדָה, derived from יסד. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural construct form requires a plural noun in construct state, hence "foundational bases of." This preserves the root sense of יסד as something laid down to establish and reflects its feminine plural construct morphology. |
