SIBI-P1 H369-29

and I am non-existent

Rootאין (ʾ-y-n)
Core Meaningsnon-existence, absence, nothingness, negation
Semantic Rangenot, there is no, none, nothing, without, non-existent, gone, lacking
Conceptual Significanceאֵין conveys absolute absence or non-being, often highlighting human frailty, mortality, or the complete removal of something. When applied to a person ("I am non-existent"), it can express profound loss, disappearance, or existential humility before God.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + existential negative particle אֵין + 1st person common singular pronominal suffix נִּי ("me"). The construction expresses personal non-existence: "there is no me."
Rendering RationaleThe particle אֵין expresses non-existence or absence rather than simple verbal negation. With the 1st person common singular suffix נִּי, it literally denotes "there is no me"—hence "I am non-existent." The prefixed conjunction וְ adds "and," preserving the full grammatical form.
