| Morphological Notes | Aramaic particle of absolute negation; indeclinable negative particle. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic particle לָא expresses simple, objective negation, directly corresponding to Hebrew לֹא. As an absolute negative particle with no inflection, "not" preserves its core function of denying a statement or reality. |
