miz.ar denotes a small amount or short interval, describing brief time or a small surviving number.

The attested uses describe either a short interval before an announced change or a small remaining number: the same singular absolute noun occurs in clauses about “a very little while” and about a remnant or few people.

1. A short interval before a change · dominant

   In Isaiah 10:25, the singular absolute form occurs in the clause before indignation comes to an end; the APB renders the verse with “in a very little while.” In Isaiah 29:17, it stands in the question anticipating Lebanon's return to a plantation, which the APB renders “still a little, a very little.”

2. A small remaining number · common

   In Isaiah 16:14, the singular absolute form occurs with the remnant after Moab's glory is dishonored; the APB describes that remnant as “very small, not mighty.” In Isaiah 24:6, it occurs in the statement that only few humans remain after the earth's inhabitants are scorched.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term's clauses with “a very little while” and “a little, a very little” in the time statements, and with “very small” or “few” in the statements about survivors. These phrases confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate a fixed English equivalent.
