English > Hebrew מוות nm. mavet מות nm. mavet
‘mavet’ could also be pronounced ‘moot’
One straight forward translation of ‘meta’ would be:
Strong's Hebrew: 4291. מְטָא (meta or metah) -- to reach, attain
However, starting from the ‘death’/‘die’-‘mavet’/‘moot’ root :
Strong's Hebrew: 4194. מָ֫וֶת (maveth) -- death Strong's Hebrew: 4193. מוֹת (moth) -- death
Strong's Hebrew: 4191. מוּת (muth) -- to die
We can find usages which could be pronounced as ‘meta’ :
