صلب الرجل وترائب المرأة وهو موضع القلادة من صدرها

The backbone of the man and the ribs of the woman, which is the place of the necklace on her chest.

وَتَرَائِبُ and the ribs

wa- (and) on a noun 'ribs' heading a possessive pairing with 'the woman' after it: 'the ribs of the woman'. It surrenders its own article, taking definiteness from the owner, and parallels the earlier 'backbone of the man'.

From Creating Life from Nothing

وقيل صلب الرجل وترائبه وهي صدره فيخرج من صلبه وصدره

And it was said that the backbone of the man and his ribs, which is his chest, is where it comes out from.

وَتَرَائِبُهُ and his ribs

An attached possessive ending closes this noun, pointing back to the man as the owner of the ribs. Arabic fuses the possessor onto the end of the noun rather than using a separate possessive word, so one written word here carries both 'ribs' and 'his'.
