SIBI-P1 Translation H3426-03
that there is
| Morphological Notes | Relative particle שֶׁ prefixed to existential particle יֵשׁ; no gender or number; non-verbal existential construction. |
| Rendering Rationale | יֵשׁ functions as an existential particle meaning "there is" or "there exists." The prefixed שֶׁ adds a relative force, yielding "that there is," preserving both the existential assertion and the morphology. |
