SIBI-P1 H996-03
between (in distinction)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (HR); construct form of an otherwise unused noun derived from the root בין. Functions as a relational preposition and sometimes as a correlative conjunction ("between… and," "either… or"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form בֵּין is a preposition derived from the root בין, which carries the idea of discerning or distinguishing. Rendering it as "between (in distinction)" preserves the spatial or relational sense while reflecting the underlying concept of separation and discernment inherent in the root. As an invariant prepositional form (HR), it does not encode gender, number, or person. |
