and none
A limit, end, or extremity; in various contexts, can denote a boundary (geographical or abstract), a point of cessation, or nonexistence. Used often as a negative particle or adverbial expression (e.g., nothing, none, only) to indicate the absence of something or the idea of exclusivity ('none besides'). Can also refer, in the dual form, to the ankle, as the extremity of the leg.

and nonexistence
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to masculine singular absolute noun אֶפֶס. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֶפֶס denotes an end, limit, or the state of ceasing to exist; in extended use it conveys absence or nothingness. With the prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"), the form literally yields "and nonexistence," preserving the core root sense of cessation or absence. |
