אוּבַ֥ל
𐤀𐤅𐤁𐤋
ʼûwbâl
the canal
A stream or flowing channel, often natural but can refer more generally to a watercourse. 'Ûwbâl designates a current of water, typically larger and more significant than an ephemeral brook (נַחַל), but not necessarily as vast as a major river (נָהָר). The term is used of tributaries or distributaries, sometimes with implicit reference to the fertility or irrigation they provide to the surrounding land. In later texts, it can denote specific rivers or figuratively, abundance or prosperity tied to water flow.

and not at all
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ prefixed to negative particle בַּל; adverbial particle expressing absolute negation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle בַּל expresses absolute negation—total failure or non-existence of something. With the prefixed conjunction וּ ('and'), the form intensifies coordinated negation, hence 'and not at all' to preserve both the conjunction and the categorical force. |
