and are not
A particle of negation meaning 'there is not,' 'is not,' or 'does not exist'; used to express the absence, non-existence, or lack of a person, thing, quality, or condition. By extension, it can mark someone as lacking (e.g., fatherless), or denote a place or thing as absent or no longer present. Rarely functions substantively to indicate a non-entity or nothingness.

and they are not
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + existential negative particle אַיִן with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("them/they"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אַיִן asserts non-existence or absence; with the prefixed conjunction וְ and the 3rd masculine plural suffix ם, it expresses that "they" are categorically absent or non-existent. The rendering preserves both the existential negation and the plural masculine reference. |
