if
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction particle (HC); invariable form; introduces conditional, interrogative, concessive, or emphatic clauses depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אִם functions primarily as a conditional conjunction introducing contingency or uncertainty. Rendering it as "if" preserves its core semantic force of condition or possibility, and as a conjunction (HC) it carries no gender, number, or person marking to reflect. |
