Exegesis
In the clause ki ervatkha hēnna {כִּי עֶרְוָתְךָ֖ הֵֽנָּה֙ | kī ʿer·wat·kha hēn·nā} the copular pronoun hēn·nā ‘they are’ links the subject to its predicate, grounding the prohibition in kinship identity.
In context — Leviticus 18:10
The nakedness of your son’s daughter or of your daughter’s daughter you shall not uncover—their nakedness—because they are your nakedness.
