וּ/מֵ/אֲשֶׁ֣ר
𐤅/𐤌/𐤀𐤔𐤓
ʼăsher
and from what
A relative pronoun introducing dependent clauses, referring to persons, things, places, or concepts, often translated as 'who,' 'which,' 'that,' or 'what.' In some syntactic environments, it functions adverbially ('where,' 'when,' 'how') or as a conjunction ('because,' 'since,' 'in order that'). The particle thus serves to connect modifying or explanatory clauses to their referents in main clauses. Its usage encompasses both restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses, as well as a variety of idiomatic extensions in context.

and from which
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition מִן (assimilated as מֵ) prefixed to the relative particle אֲשֶׁר; indeclinable relative marker. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the conjunction ו ("and") and the preposition מִן ("from") with the relative particle אֲשֶׁר, yielding "and from which." The rendering preserves both prefixed elements and the indeclinable relative function of the particle. |
