A limit, end, or extremity; in various contexts, can denote a boundary (geographical or abstract), a point of cessation, or nonexistence. Used often as a negative particle or adverbial expression (e.g., nothing, none, only) to indicate the absence of something or the idea of exclusivity ('none besides'). Can also refer, in the dual form, to the ankle, as the extremity of the leg.

SIBI-P1 Translation H657-07
to extremities of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural construct (אַפְסֵי) with prefixed preposition לְ; from root אפס. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֶפֶס denotes an end or limit; in the masculine plural construct form אַפְסֵי it means "extremities of." The prefixed לְ adds the sense "to," yielding "to extremities of," preserving both plurality and construct relation. |
