three (feminine form)
| Root | שלש (sh-l-sh) |
| Core Meanings | threefoldness, triplicity, triad, repetition in threes |
| Semantic Range | the number three; third (in some contexts); a triad; threefold repetition; occasionally extended to mean thrice or a triple measure |
| Conceptual Significance | The number three in the Hebrew Bible often conveys completeness or established pattern (e.g., three patriarchs, three pilgrimage festivals, threefold declarations). It can signify confirmation, stability, or fullness within covenantal and liturgical structures. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, cardinal number; common gender feminine singular absolute form. Used with feminine nouns in construct or attributive position. Masculine counterpart is שְׁלוֹשָׁה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The word is a feminine singular absolute cardinal number (HAcfsa), the form used when counting or modifying feminine nouns. Rendering it as "three (feminine form)" preserves the numerical sense rooted in triplicity while explicitly reflecting its grammatical gender. |
