how?
| Morphological Notes | Interrogative particle (Hebrew, indeclinable). Functions adverbially to introduce a question of manner or circumstance; no inflection for gender, number, or person. |
| Rendering Rationale | אֵיךְ is an interrogative particle derived from an earlier form related to אַי, expressing inquiry about manner or circumstance. As an indeclinable interrogative adverb (HTi), it carries no gender, number, or person distinctions, so the faithful rendering "how?" accurately preserves both its root sense of manner and its morphology. |
