SIBI-P1 H8337-10
and six
| Root | שׁשׁ (š-š) |
| Core Meanings | six, sixth, numerical grouping of six |
| Semantic Range | The cardinal number six; by extension sixth; in compound numbers such as sixteen or six hundred; occasionally symbolic numerical value. |
| Conceptual Significance | Six in the Hebrew Bible often represents completeness within the created order yet short of covenantal fullness (seven), notably in the six days of labor before the Sabbath. It can signify human activity, measure, or structured completeness within temporal limits. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וָ + adjective/numeral, common feminine singular absolute (HC/Acfsa). שֵׁשׁ is the feminine form of the cardinal number, used in gender polarity with counted nouns. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וָ ("and") attached to the feminine singular absolute numeral שֵׁשׁ ("six"). The rendering preserves the additive conjunction and the cardinal number, reflecting its feminine singular form as indicated in the morphology, even though English does not mark grammatical gender for numbers. |
