SIBI-P1 Translation H1297-01
however
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic conjunction/adversative particle; invariable form; no gender, number, or stem inflection. |
| Rendering Rationale | As an Aramaic adversative particle derived from the root meaning "to be high/exalted," this form functions idiomatically to introduce a contrasting or elevated counterpoint in discourse. The rendering "however" preserves its consistent adversative force without adding contextual nuance. |
