SIBI-P1 H369-18
from non-existence
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the noun/negative particle אֵין ("non-existence, there is not"); functions as a prepositional phrase meaning "from lack/absence" or idiomatically "without." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מֵאֵין combines the preposition מִן ("from") with אֵין ("non-existence, absence"). Rendering it as "from non-existence" preserves the core idea of absence or nothingness inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the prefixed preposition shown in the morphology (HR/Tn). |
