وَجَارِيَتِي and my female servant

A 'wa-' fused to a noun that carries a 'my' suffix, 'and my servant-girl'. The 'wa-' links this to 'my mount', pairing the two as the places the sin's effect appears, while the suffix marks the speaker as owner. It continues the 'of' chain governed by the earlier 'nature of'.
