The supplied morphology consistently identifies the form as an interrogative particle. In Genesis 18:9 the APB renders a question about Sarah's location, while in Genesis 22:7 it asks for the sheep needed for the offering; in Isaiah 63:15 and Malachi 1:6, the questions concern expected divine acts, honor, and fear rather than a merely physical location.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the particle through questions beginning "Where is" or "Where are," including questions about people, objects, gods, and expected realities. Its English phrasing confirms the verse-level question rather than assigning a separate English equivalent in every clause.
