| Morphological Notes | Preposition (improper) governing the genitive case; also used adverbially to denote an intervening interval. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Between" directly reflects the core idea of position or state in the interval separating two entities. As a preposition governing the genitive, it marks relational separation or mediation between persons, places, times, or states. |
