from below
| Morphological Notes | Adverbial form מַטָּה with prefixed preposition מִן; directional/locative adverb indicating source from a lower position. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition מִן ("from") with the directional adverb מַטָּה ("downward, beneath"), yielding "from below." It preserves the root sense of inclination or downward orientation derived from נָטָה and reflects the prefixed preposition and directive nuance. |
