| Morphological Notes | Interjection/particle; demonstrative-presentational; indeclinable; no gender or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Look!" captures the deictic and attention-directing force of הִנֵּה as an interjection that presents or points something out with immediacy. As an intensified demonstrative particle, it functions to draw focused attention rather than describe action. |
