A preposition or conjunction indicating extension in space ('as far as,' 'up to,' 'toward'), time ('until,' 'during,' 'as long as'), or degree ('to the degree of,' 'as much as'). It introduces limits, boundaries, or durations—whether spatial, temporal, or quantitative—either inclusively or exclusively depending on context. Often used in temporal clauses to indicate an endpoint, in spatial clauses to set a boundary, or in comparative statements to express extent.

while still
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in/while”) prefixed to adverb עוֹד (duration/repetition). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition בְּ (“in/while/during”) with the adverb עוֹד, which denotes continuation or repetition. “While still” preserves the sense of ongoing or continued state inherent in the root and reflects the prefixed preposition. |
