still, yet, hitherto (temporal adverb indicating continuance up to present)
This adverb means 'still,' 'yet,' or 'hitherto'—a temporal marker indicating something continues up to the present moment or hasn't happened yet. Both occurrences are in Ecclesiastes 4, where Qohelet reflects on the superiority of the dead and unborn. Verse 2 praises those 'already dead' over the living, while verse 3 declares those 'not yet born' most fortunate. The adverb marks temporal boundaries in Qohelet's pessimistic assessment of life under the sun, contrasting past, present, and未-yet-realized states.
