SIBI-P1 H4592-09
and to the small-portion
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לַ) + adjective masculine singular absolute functioning substantively. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective מְעַט is masculine singular absolute, used substantively to denote a small amount or fewness. The prefixed conjunction וְ ("and") and preposition לַ ("to the," with the definite article) yield "and to the small-portion," preserving both the singular form and the core idea of smallness from the root מעט. |
