and two (feminine)
| Root | שׁנה (sh-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | two, duality, repetition, secondness |
| Semantic Range | two, both, a pair, dual quantity, second (in certain contexts), twice (in adverbial uses) |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of "two" in biblical thought often conveys duality, partnership, or sufficient witness (e.g., the requirement of two witnesses). The feminine form reflects Hebrew’s gender agreement system, underscoring the language’s precision in numerical expression. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") + cardinal number, feminine form, dual ending -ַיִם, absolute state (HC/Acfda). Used with feminine nouns or where the feminine form of "two" is required. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form וּשְׁתַּיִם consists of the conjunction וּ ("and") attached to the feminine cardinal number "two" in the absolute state. Rendering it as "and two (feminine)" preserves both the conjunction and the explicitly feminine grammatical form, which agrees with feminine nouns in Hebrew. |
