ten (feminine count)
| Root | עשר (ʿ-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | ten, tenth, accumulation, abundance, enrichment |
| Semantic Range | the number ten; a unit of ten; part of compound numbers (e.g., teens); by extension in related forms, a tenth or tithe, or abundance linked to accumulation |
| Conceptual Significance | Ten signifies completeness or fullness in biblical thought (e.g., Ten Words/Commandments). As the base of the decimal system, it often marks a full measure or ordered total within covenantal and legal contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, feminine singular absolute (HAcfsa). Derived from the root עשר, which conveys the concept of ten or grouping by tens. Distinct from related verbal forms meaning "to tithe" or "to enrich." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form עָשֶׂר is a cardinal number in the feminine singular absolute (cfsa), used when counting feminine nouns. Rendering it as "ten (feminine count)" preserves its numerical sense rooted in the idea of accumulation while explicitly reflecting its grammatical gender. |
