SIBI-P1 H577-02
where?
| Morphological Notes | Interrogative particle/adverb (HNp), indeclinable; no gender, number, or person inflection; sometimes appears in the fuller form אָנָה with directional nuance ("whither?"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is an indeclinable interrogative adverb derived from the root אן, expressing inquiry about place or direction. Since it does not mark gender, number, or person, the faithful rendering simply preserves its core spatial question: "where?" |
