two thousand
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, dual form of אֶלֶף, absolute state; functions adjectivally with both genders. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is the dual of אֶלֶף, preserving the core numerical sense of a grouped unit ('thousand') derived from the root idea of association or company. The dual ending indicates precisely two such thousand-units. |
