| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state (with prefixed conjunction in surface form). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִפְתָּח derives from פתח and denotes that which is opened—an opening or entrance. The construct singular form requires the relational sense “of,” yielding “opening of” to reflect its bound state. |
