facing opposite
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן prefixed to the adverbial/prepositional particle מוּל; inseparable prepositional form indicating spatial relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The prepositional form מִמּוּל combines the preposition מִן with מוּל, preserving the root sense of direct spatial confrontation or alignment. "Facing opposite" reflects the core idea of being directly across from or in front of something. |
