counted total
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from ספר and denotes the result or product of counting rather than the act itself. "Counted total" preserves the idea of a sum determined by enumeration while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form. |
