to one (feminine)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + cardinal numeral; feminine singular absolute form of אֶחָד. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְאֶחָת consists of the preposition לְ ("to") prefixed to the feminine singular form of the cardinal numeral from אחד. Rendering it as "to one (feminine)" preserves both the singular unity sense of the root and the grammatical feminine form. |
