and two (feminine)

Rootתרי (t-r-y)
Core Meaningstwo, duality, pair, secondness
Semantic Rangeliteral two, a pair, dual items, second element in compound numbers (e.g., twelve)
Conceptual SignificanceThe number two in biblical thought often establishes valid testimony (two witnesses), partnership, or division. Its feminine form reflects grammatical agreement within the structure of Aramaic portions of Scripture.
Morphological NotesAramaic cardinal number; feminine absolute form תַּרְתֵּין (tartēn), with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). Corresponds to Hebrew שְׁנַיִם/שְׁתַּיִם. Occurs once in this form.
Rendering RationaleThe term is the Aramaic feminine form of the cardinal number "two" (תַּרְתֵּין), here preceded by the conjunction "and" (וְ). The rendering preserves the numeric sense of duality inherent in the root and reflects its feminine grammatical form, which agrees with feminine nouns in context.
