SIBI-P1 H3967-14

and two-hundreds

Morphological NotesConjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to the dual absolute form מָאתַיִם of the feminine noun מֵאָה ("hundred"). The dual ending -ַיִם indicates exactly two units of a hundred.
Rendering RationaleThe form מָאתַיִם is the dual of מֵאָה ("hundred"), literally meaning "two hundreds." The prefixed וּ adds "and." Rendering it as "and two-hundreds" preserves the explicit dual form in Hebrew rather than smoothing it into the English idiom "two hundred."
