SIBI-P1 H8346-01
sixty (six-tens)
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, masculine plural absolute; functions adjectivally or substantivally to denote the quantity sixty. |
| Rendering Rationale | שִׁשִּׁים is the masculine plural absolute form of the cardinal number derived from the root meaning "six." Hebrew forms the decades as plural multiples of the base number, so "sixty" literally reflects "six-tens," preserving both the root idea (six) and the masculine plural morphology. |
