to a hundred

Morphological NotesFeminine singular numeral (absolute מֵאָה or construct מְאַת) with prefixed preposition ל. The construct form links a following noun ("hundred of …").
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition ל ("to/for") prefixed to the feminine singular numeral מֵאָה ("hundred"), sometimes appearing in its construct form מְאַת ("hundred of"). Rendering it as "to a hundred" preserves both the singular numerical sense and the prefixed preposition indicated in the morphology.
