SIBI-P1 Translation H3426-01
is there?
| Morphological Notes | Interrogative particle הֲ prefixed to existential particle יֵשׁ; not a verb but an independent existential form. |
| Rendering Rationale | יֵשׁ asserts existence or presence; with the prefixed interrogative הֲ it forms a direct existential question. The rendering "is there?" preserves its function as an inquiry about existence or presence. |
