except
| Morphological Notes | Negational particle; feminine construct form functioning as a conjunction/adverb of exclusion. |
| Rendering Rationale | Though etymologically derived from בלה ("to wear out"), this feminine construct form has been grammaticalized as a negational particle expressing exclusion or limitation. "Except" best captures its function as an exclusionary conjunction without importing contextual nuance. |
