to-between
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בֵּין in construct form with prefixed לְ (inseparable preposition); no gender or number inflection. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base form בֵּין denotes distinction or separation ('between'). The prefixed לְ adds the directional/relational sense 'to' or 'toward,' yielding 'to-between' as a concise way to preserve both the separative core and the prefixed morphology. |
