SIBI-P1 H8147-24

two

Morphological NotesMasculine cardinal number in the absolute state; dual form used for counting masculine nouns. Corresponds to feminine שְׁתַּיִם.
Rendering Rationaleשְׁנֵים is the masculine absolute form of the cardinal number "two," derived from the root expressing doubleness or repetition. English numerals do not mark grammatical gender, so "two" accurately reflects the masculine dual form while preserving the core sense of duality inherent in the root.
