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.
