and not

Morphological NotesHC/Tn: conjunction (vav) + particle (negation). The vav prefix (ו) creates a conjunctive relationship with the preceding clause. The particle לא is a primitive negation with no root consonants in the traditional sense, functioning as a standalone negating element.
Rendering RationaleThe morphology HC/Tn indicates a conjunction (HC) with a particle (Tn), making this a conjunctive negation. The faithful rendering 'and not' preserves both the conjunctive vav prefix (ו) and the primitive negation particle (לא), maintaining the logical negation structure while reflecting the grammatical composition of the surface form.
