SIBI-P1 H8346-01
sixty (six-tens)
| Root | שׁשׁ (sh-sh) |
| Core Meanings | six, sixness, numerical grouping of six |
| Semantic Range | The literal number sixty; a rounded or symbolic large quantity; part of compound numbers (e.g., sixty years, sixty men). |
| Conceptual Significance | As a multiple of six, שִׁשִּׁים often appears in census figures, reign lengths, architectural measurements, and poetic descriptions, contributing to patterns of order, structure, and symbolic completeness within Israel’s numerical worldview. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, masculine plural absolute; functions adjectivally or substantivally to denote the quantity sixty. |
| Rendering Rationale | שִׁשִּׁים is the masculine plural absolute form of the cardinal number derived from the root meaning "six." Hebrew forms the decades as plural multiples of the base number, so "sixty" literally reflects "six-tens," preserving both the root idea (six) and the masculine plural morphology. |
