Exegesis
The niphal imperfect verb yimaret {יִמָּרֵט | yim·mārēṭ} ‘is made bald’ governs the direct object rosho {רֹאשׁוֹ | rō·šô} ‘his head’, which is then characterized by the noun gibbeach {גִּבֵּחַ | gib·bēaḥ} ‘bald forehead’ serving as a predicate complement.

מ־ר־טmem-resh-tet
“to be bald, become bare”
In context — Leviticus 13:41
And if from the side of his face his head has become bald, he has a bald forehead ; he is clean .
