Morphological NotesPreposition לְ prefixed to the adverb מַטָּה; classified as a directional adverb (HR/D). No gender, number, or person marking; functions adverbially to denote downward direction or position.
Rendering RationaleThe adverb מַטָּה derives from the root נטה, conveying the idea of bending or inclining downward. With the prefixed preposition לְ (“to, toward”), the form expresses motion or orientation toward a lower place—hence “to-downward,” preserving both the directional force of לְ and the root sense of inclination.
