SIBI-P1 Translation H7969-07
as from three
| Morphological Notes | Prefixed כ + מ prepositions attached to feminine singular construct form of the cardinal number שלש. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the prefixed prepositions כ (as/like) and מ (from) with the feminine singular construct of "three," yielding the literal sense "as from three." This preserves the root שלש and reflects the construct cardinal form with its prefixed particles. |
