| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular construct form used exclusively as a negative particle or conjunction; often preceded by prepositions and governing a following clause or noun; indeclinable in usage despite construct origin. |
| Rendering Rationale | בִּלְתִּי is historically a feminine construct form from the root בלה, conveying the idea of failure or depletion. As a conjunction (HC), it functions idiomatically as a negative particle; rendering it "in lack of" preserves the underlying sense of absence or failure while reflecting its construct form that governs what follows. |
