SIBI-P1 H5869-19

there is no / there is not

Morphological NotesIndeclinable negative existential particle (HTn). It does not inflect for gender, number, or person, though it may take pronominal suffixes in other forms (e.g., אֵינֶנּוּ "he is not"). Distinct in spelling and meaning from עַיִן ("eye").
Rendering RationaleThe particle אֵין expresses non-existence or absence rather than simple verbal negation. Rendering it as "there is no" or "there is not" preserves its existential force, indicating the complete lack of something rather than merely negating an action. As an indeclinable particle (HTn), it carries no gender or number distinctions.
