SIBI-P1 H518-04
and if
| Morphological Notes | HC/C: conjunction (וְ) prefixed to the conditional particle אִם. Indeclinable particle with no gender, number, or person inflection. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the conditional particle אִם ("if"). Rendering it "and if" preserves both the connective force of the waw and the core conditional sense inherent in the particle. |
