and no-thing

Morphological NotesConjunction וּ ("and") + negative particle בַּל; invariant adverbial particle used for strong negation.
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to בַּל, a negative particle derived from a root conveying failure or coming to nothing. Rendering it as "and no-thing" preserves both the conjunction and the underlying sense of negation as the absence or nullification of something.
