| Morphological Notes | Adverbial particle (HD); indeclinable; formed from comparative prefix כ + demonstrative element; functions adverbially to indicate manner, place, or degree. |
| Rendering Rationale | כֹּה is formed from the comparative prefix כ ("like/as") joined to a demonstrative element, yielding the sense "like this" or "in this manner." As an adverb (HD), it is indeclinable and carries no gender, number, or person marking, so the rendering preserves its deictic and comparative force without adding grammatical features not present in the form. |
