two
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic adjective; cardinal numeral; feminine; plural form; absolute state; used adjectivally with feminine nouns. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is the Aramaic feminine cardinal numeral derived from the root meaning "to be two" or "to divide." The rendering "two" preserves the core numerical sense, with the feminine agreement reflected in morphology rather than English form. |
