a hundred of
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal numeral, feminine singular construct (HAcfsc). The construct form (מְאַת) links the number to a following noun (e.g., "a hundred of…"). מֵאָה is grammatically feminine and functions adjectivally or substantivally in counting. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מְאַת reflects the feminine singular construct form of the cardinal numeral מֵאָה ("hundred"). Rendering it as "a hundred of" preserves both the numerical core meaning and the construct relationship, indicating that it governs a following noun. The singular number is maintained, reflecting one complete unit of a hundred. |
