We read there
לְזֹאת יִקָּרֵא אִשָּׁה כִּי מֵאִישׁ לֻקְחָה זֹּאת
NIV: she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
לֻקְחָה = ל-הוּא-קח-היא, is with a first, inner, הוּא referring to the woman as the beneficiary of the act לקח LAQAX, 'take', and an appended היא, added to serve as a gender qualifier.
Also, זֹּאת = זוּ-את.
