SIBI-P1 H8532-01

three (masculine form)

Rootתלת (t-l-t)
Core Meaningsthree, triad, thirdness, threefold grouping
Semantic Rangethe number three; a triad; three items or persons; by extension, a third part in certain contexts
Conceptual SignificanceAs 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 NotesAramaic cardinal number; masculine singular absolute (AAcmsa/AAcbsa). Used in agreement with masculine nouns or in counting masculine referents.
Rendering Rationaleתְּלָתָא 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.
