Usage notes

 * While this adverb does exist, it's fairly colloquial, and rather limited in use; it can generally only be used at the end of a sentence. So, in the general case, the English adjective and adverb does not have an immediate Hebrew counterpart; rather, a phrase like  or  must be used.
 * Note that this adverb is pronounced differently from the preposition from which it derives; specifically, it is stressed on the first syllable rather than the last.

Adjective

 * 1) In place, in its place, in order.
