| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct state (maqtal pattern from בוא). |
| Rendering Rationale | Derived from the root בוא ('to come, enter'), מָבוֹא denotes a place or act of entering. The construct state requires a relational sense, hence 'entrance of,' preserving both the root idea of entry and the grammatical linkage. |
