Exegesis
A further coordinate clause introduced by kai {καὶ | kaí} follows within the same causal complex: hē gynē autou hētoimasen heautēn {ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἡτοίμασεν ἑαυτήν | hē gy-nḕ au-toû hē-toí-ma-sen he-au-tḗn}.
The subject hē gynē autou {ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ | hē gy-nḕ au-toû} identifies “His wife / bride,” with autou binding her directly to the Lamb in a genitive of relationship.

gynē (stem gyn-)gamma–upsilon–nu–eta
“woman, wife”
In context — Revelation 19:7
Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has prepared herself.
