Common Translation
| Phrase | until |
SIBI-P1 Translation H5703-01
up to, until
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (HR); invariable form marking spatial, temporal, or quantitative limit. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition derives from a root meaning to continue or reach a limit, so "up to, until" preserves the idea of extension toward a boundary in space, time, or degree. As an uninflected preposition, it marks extent without indicating person, gender, or number. |
