[George Athas <George.Athas AT moore.edu.au>]

Hey Daniel! How are you doing?

The preposition תחת is segholate in form, which means it originally comes 
from a form taHt. So, the final taw is not a gender suffix, but part of the 
root. It’s coincidental, therefore, that its segholate form in Biblical 
Hebrew happens to look like a feminine construct.
