and what?
| Root | מה (m-h) |
| Core Meanings | interrogation, inquiry, indefiniteness, exclamation |
| Semantic Range | what?, how?, why?, for what purpose?, how much?, anything, whatever, that which (in relative or indefinite use), exclamatory "what!" |
| Conceptual Significance | This common interrogative frames questions of purpose, identity, value, and divine action throughout Scripture. It often introduces expressions of human limitation before God ("what is man?"), rhetorical challenges, or appeals for understanding, highlighting dependence on divine revelation. |
| Morphological Notes | Composed of prefixed conjunction וּ (waw, "and") plus the interrogative particle מָה; particle is indeclinable and does not mark gender or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to the interrogative particle מָה ("what?"). Rendering it as "and what?" preserves both the conjunctive force of the waw and the open-ended interrogative sense inherent in the root מה. |
