SIBI-P1 H8532-01
three (masculine form)
| Root | תלת (t-l-t) |
| Core Meanings | three, triad, thirdness, threefold grouping |
| Semantic Range | the number three; a triad; three items or persons; by extension, a third part in certain contexts |
| Conceptual Significance | As a basic numeral, "three" often signifies completeness or stability in biblical literature (e.g., triads of officials or repeated actions). In Aramaic sections of Scripture, it functions within imperial and administrative narratives, marking counted groups or structured sets. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic cardinal number; masculine singular absolute (AAcmsa/AAcbsa). Used in agreement with masculine nouns or in counting masculine referents. |
| Rendering Rationale | תְּלָתָא is the Aramaic masculine singular absolute form of the cardinal number "three." English numerals do not reflect grammatical gender, but noting the masculine form preserves the agreement reflected in the morphology and distinguishes it from feminine counting forms in Aramaic. |
