to-downward
| Morphological Notes | Preposition 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 Rationale | The 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. |
