Senses in use

  1. Particle marking addition or reinforcement · dominant

    The supplied morphology identifies the form as either an Adverb or a Particle of Affirmation, while the clauses show it adding or strengthening what is said: in 1 Samuel 2:7 the APB renders the paired actions “he brings low and also lifts up,” and in Isaiah 41:10 it renders further assurances “I also help you; I also uphold you.” In comparative or rhetorical clauses, the same function is reflected by “how much more” in 1 Samuel 23:3 and 2 Chronicles 32:15; in 1 Chronicles 16:30 the APB renders the affirming statement “indeed the world is established.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the particle through additions such as “also,” reinforcement such as “indeed,” and comparative wording such as “how much more.” These English expressions show the clauses' presentation rather than fixed one-for-one renderings.
