and two (feminine)
| Root | תרי (t-r-y) |
| Core Meanings | two, duality, pair, secondness |
| Semantic Range | literal two, a pair, dual items, second element in compound numbers (e.g., twelve) |
| Conceptual Significance | The 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 Notes | Aramaic cardinal number; feminine absolute form תַּרְתֵּין (tartēn), with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). Corresponds to Hebrew שְׁנַיִם/שְׁתַּיִם. Occurs once in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
