to a small-amount

Root	מעט (m-ʿ-ṭ)
Core Meanings	smallness, fewness, littleness, diminution, reduction
Semantic Range	a little, a small amount, few, briefly, slightly, almost, a short time
Conceptual Significance	The term expresses limitation in quantity, degree, or duration, often highlighting human insufficiency, briefness of time, or the small scale of resources in contrast to divine abundance or judgment.
Morphological Notes	Adjective, masculine singular absolute (Aamsa) with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). From the root מעט (m-ʿ-ṭ), functioning often adverbially to denote degree or quantity.
Rendering Rationale	The adjective מְעַט (masculine singular absolute) denotes smallness or fewness derived from the root מעט. The prefixed לְ preposition is reflected by "to," and the singular sense is preserved in "a small-amount," maintaining the idea of limited quantity inherent in the root.
