and eight-tens

Rootשׁמן (š-m-n)
Core Meaningseight, eightfold grouping, numerical fullness in a series
Semantic Rangeeighty (cardinal number); by extension in some contexts, the eightieth (ordinal sense)
Conceptual SignificanceAs a multiple of eight, a number associated with new beginnings and covenantal markers (e.g., circumcision on the eighth day), "eighty" often appears in genealogies, lifespans, and census figures, contributing to patterns of generational continuity and covenant history in the biblical narrative.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to an adjective, cardinal number, masculine plural absolute (from שְׁמֹנֶה, "eight"), functioning substantivally as "eighty."
Rendering RationaleThe form שְׁמֹנִים is a masculine plural cardinal number built from the base "eight" (שְׁמֹנֶה), literally expressing "eight tens." Rendering it as "eight-tens" preserves the transparent multiplicative structure of the Hebrew while the prefixed conjunction וּ is reflected by "and." The masculine plural absolute form aligns with standard masculine numeral usage.
