SIBI-P1 G2982-01
for-what?
| Morphological Notes | Gr,TF: particle, foreign term (indeclinable). Interrogative adverb of reason or purpose; no inflection for number, gender, or case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term reflects the underlying Hebrew לָמָה (ləmah), literally "for what?" or "to what purpose?" Rendering it as "for-what?" preserves the prepositional force ("for") and the interrogative element ("what"), maintaining the root sense rather than smoothing it into the abstract "why." As an indeclinable interrogative particle, it carries no tense, voice, case, gender, or number distinctions. |
