Exegesis
The verse employs a coordinate structure introduced by the direct-object-marker et {אֶת | ʾet} with each place-name phrase.
Proper nouns anatot {עֲנָתוֹת | ʿănāṯōṯ} and almon {עַלְמֹן | ʿălmôn} appear in construct with migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | mīgrāšehā} ‘pasturelands’, each phrase marked by the conjunction-plus-et sequence.
Root and etymology
g-r-shgimel–resh–shin
