but there is none
A particle of negation meaning 'there is not,' 'is not,' or 'does not exist'; used to express the absence, non-existence, or lack of a person, thing, quality, or condition. By extension, it can mark someone as lacking (e.g., fatherless), or denote a place or thing as absent or no longer present. Rarely functions substantively to indicate a non-entity or nothingness.

and there is not
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וָ (and) prefixed to the negative existential particle אַיִן; particle of non-existence, not inflected for gender or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אַיִן asserts categorical non-existence or absence rather than simple verbal negation; prefixed וָ adds the conjunction "and." The rendering preserves the existential force of the particle and reflects its fixed, non-inflected form. |
