SIBI-P1 H7969-14

three (feminine form)

Morphological NotesCardinal number, feminine singular absolute (HAcfsa). In Hebrew numbers 3–10 exhibit gender polarity, so this feminine form typically modifies masculine nouns.
Rendering RationaleThe form שָׁלֹשׁ is the feminine singular absolute form of the cardinal number derived from the root שלשׁ, denoting threefold quantity. The rendering preserves the numeric sense while noting its feminine grammatical form, which in Hebrew governs agreement and gender polarity with counted nouns.
