SIBI-P1 H6242-02
twenty
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural absolute cardinal number derived from עֶשֶׂר (ten); used to quantify masculine nouns (with feminine nouns typically taking the alternate form עֶשְׂרִים in construct or עֶשְׂרֵה forms in compound numbers). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form עֶשְׂרִים is the masculine plural absolute of עֶשֶׂר ("ten"), literally expressing "tens"—that is, two tens, or twenty. English does not mark grammatical gender in numbers, so "twenty" accurately conveys the plural cardinal sense while the masculine form is reflected in the Hebrew morphology. |
