to you (masculine singular)
| Root | ל (l-) |
| Core Meanings | direction, movement toward, belonging, relation, purpose |
| Semantic Range | to you, for you, toward you, belonging to you, concerning you, with reference to you |
| Conceptual Significance | This common prepositional form expresses direction, relationship, benefit, or obligation toward a specific male individual. In covenantal and legal contexts, it often marks personal address, responsibility, promise, or divine action directed specifically to the one spoken to. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with attached 2nd person masculine singular suffix ךָ (HR/Sp2ms). Functions as an indirect object marker or denotes direction, benefit, or possession. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition ל (“to, toward, for”) with a second masculine singular pronominal suffix ךָ, yielding “to you” addressed to one male. The rendering preserves the directional/relational force of ל and explicitly reflects the 2ms morphology. |
