from beneath
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (min, "from") prefixed to the adverbial/prepositional noun תַּחַת ("beneath, under"). Functions as a compound preposition; no gender, number, or person inflection. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מִתַּחַת combines the preposition מִן ("from") with תַּחַת ("beneath, under"). Rendering it as "from beneath" preserves the spatial sense of emergence or movement from a lower position, maintaining the root idea of what is underneath while accurately reflecting the prefixed preposition indicated by the morphology (HR/R). |
