not

Morphological NotesHTi/Tn indicates a Hebrew particle (H = Hebrew, T = particle, i = indeclinable, / = separator, T = particle, n = not inflected). The word appears with the interrogative prefix הֲ (ha-) in the surface forms, making the phrase 'are they not' or 'is it not,' but the particle itself remains uninflected.
Rendering RationaleThe word לֹא (lôʼ) is a primitive particle of negation with no verbal stem or inflectional morphology—it does not carry gender, number, or person markers. The morphology code HTi/Tn indicates it is a particle (not a verb or noun), so grammatical gender/number/person do not apply. The faithful rendering 'not' preserves the root's core semantic function as a simple, absolute negation.
