ל/כי
𐤋/𐤊𐤉
kîy
you have
A conjunctive particle used to introduce causal, explanatory, confirmatory, concessive, temporal, and resultative clauses, depending on context. Most often, כִּי introduces clauses indicating cause ('because'), reason, or explanation, but can also function as a marker of result ('that'), contrast ('but', 'though'), affirmation ('indeed', 'surely'), or temporal sequence ('when', 'since'). Its precise meaning is determined by its syntactic context, and it often marks the connection or development of thought within a sentence.

Go, you
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal imperative, 2nd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is the Qal imperative, second feminine singular of הלך, expressing a direct command to a single female addressee. "Go" preserves the core movement sense of the root, and "you" reflects the explicit second-person address. |
