eleven
A form indicating 'eleven,' particularly in compound numerical expressions. Used exclusively in the construct state before the word for 'ten' (עָשָׂר), it forms the numbers eleven (cardinal) and eleventh (ordinal) in Biblical Hebrew. The term does not stand alone, but always appears as part of a construct phrase for counting or denoting sequence, e.g., 'eleven men,' 'the eleventh month.'

| Morphological Notes | Adjective (cardinal/ordinal number), plural, construct state; used only before עָשָׂר to form eleven/eleventh. |
| Rendering Rationale | This construct plural numerical form is used exclusively in compound expressions with עָשָׂר (ten) to denote the number eleven or the eleventh in sequence. Rendering it as "eleven" preserves its fixed numerical function and its role as a construct component. |
