ten
A suffix form meaning '-teen' or '-teenth,' used in combination with numerals to indicate numbers from eleven to nineteen (e.g., ʻechad asar, 'eleven'; shenayim asar, 'twelve'), and in the feminine, '-esreh.' It does not stand alone as 'ten,' but rather modifies other numerals to form compound numbers within the teens or their respective ordinal forms.

SIBI-P1 Translation H6240-02
-esreh teen-suffix
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular adjective; cardinal number in combining (construct-like) form used only within compound numerals. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form reflects the feminine singular combining form of the root עשר, functioning only as the suffix element in compound teen or teenth numbers. Rendering it as a teen-suffix preserves its morphological role as an attached numerical modifier rather than an independent noun. |
