toward
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew preposition (HR); an inseparable particle expressing direction or orientation; morphologically invariable. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אֶל fundamentally denotes motion or orientation toward a person, place, or object. Rendering it as "toward" preserves its directional force rather than the more static English "to," reflecting its core sense of movement or relational approach. As a preposition (HR), it carries no gender, number, or person inflection. |
