and to me
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition לְ with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | This specific form is parsed as the conjunction וְ plus the preposition לְ with a 1st person common singular suffix, yielding "and to me." Although the lexeme בְּלִי can function as a negative particle meaning "without," the morphology here clearly reflects לְ + 1cs suffix, not the negative particle. |
