not
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic negative particle (absolute negation); indeclinable; no gender, number, or person marking. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic particle לָא functions as the simple, absolute negation, directly corresponding to Hebrew לֹא. As an indeclinable negative particle (ATn), it carries no gender, number, or person distinctions, so the faithful rendering "not" accurately reflects both its core meaning and its morphology. |
