| Morphological Notes | Aramaic preposition; invariant form; governs a following noun or pronominal suffix to indicate spatial or temporal anteriority. |
| Rendering Rationale | As an Aramaic preposition derived from קדם (to be in front, to precede), it denotes anterior position in space or time. "Before" preserves the root sense of being in front of or prior to, without adding contextual nuance. |
