SIBI-P1 Translation H5048-08
from before
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the noun/prepositional form נֶגֶד; functioning as a compound preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition מִן ("from") with נֶגֶד ("that which is set before, opposite, in front of"), yielding a sense of movement or position away from what is directly before or facing. "From before" preserves both the spatial opposition and the prefixed preposition. |
