SIBI-P1 H56-01
indeed
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew particle/adverb (HD); invariable form with no inflection for gender, number, or person; used to introduce emphasis, correction, or contrast. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אֲבָל functions as a Hebrew discourse particle (HD), not as a verb, and therefore carries no gender, number, or person marking. Rendering it as "indeed" preserves its core sense of emphatic affirmation or corrective contrast, reflecting its function as a particle that strengthens or redirects a statement. |
