| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number; feminine singular absolute form (HAcfsa). Used in agreement with feminine nouns; functions adjectivally or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The word שֵׁשׁ is the feminine singular cardinal form of the number six, used with feminine nouns. Since English numerals do not reflect grammatical gender, the rendering preserves the meaning "six" while noting its feminine grammatical form to reflect the Hebrew morphology. |
