SIBI-P1 Translation H383-06
there is it
| Morphological Notes | Existential particle (affirmation) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אִית marks existential presence ('there is'), and the attached 3rd masculine singular suffix adds 'it,' yielding the sense of an asserted existing entity: 'there is it.' This preserves both the root idea of existence and the pronominal morphology. |
