| Morphological Notes | Particle (adverb/conjunction of limitation or contrast); invariable form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle expresses restriction or limitation, reflecting the root idea of thinness or scantiness—something reduced to a minimal scope. "Only" best captures this sense of narrowing or limiting without adding contextual nuance. |
