Exegesis
The locative prepositional suffix in takhtekha {תַּחְתֶּיךָ | taḥtēḵā} ‘beneath you’ introduces the Pual perfect yutsa {יֻצַּע | yûṣʿā} ‘is spread’, presenting rimmah {רִמָּה | rim-māh} ‘maggot’ as predicate.
In context — Isaiah 14:11
Your pride is brought down to Sheol, together with the sound of your stringed instruments; a maggot is spread beneath you, and worms are your covering.
