SIBI-P1 H369-03
there-is-no
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew negative existential particle (HTn); indeclinable; used to negate existence or presence; often contrasted with יֵשׁ ("there is"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אַיִן is an indeclinable negative existential particle (HTn), expressing non-existence or absence rather than simple verbal negation. The rendering "there-is-no" preserves its core sense of non-being or non-presence, reflecting its function as a declaration of non-existence rather than merely "not." |
