not
| Morphological Notes | Negative particle (HTn); indeclinable; functions to negate verbs, clauses, or nouns. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is the primary particle of absolute negation, expressing simple and unqualified denial. As a negative particle with no inflection, "not" most directly preserves its root function of negating statements or realities. |
