Exegesis
The verse opens with the disjunctive conjunction o {א֣וֹ | ʾô} ‘or’, establishing an alternative condition, followed by the conditional particle ki {כִ֥י | kî} ‘if/when’, which introduces the protasis marked by the Qal imperfect yashuv {יָשׁ֛וּב | yā-šûv} ‘returns’.
In context — Leviticus 13:16
Or if the living flesh turns back and becomes white, then he shall come to the priest .
