SIBI-P1 Translation H4592-08
and hundred-of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + cardinal number, singular, construct state (both genders). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base numeral מֵאָה denotes the quantity "one hundred." In construct state (מְאַת) it links to a following noun as "hundred of," and the prefixed וּ adds "and," yielding "and hundred-of" while preserving its construct morphology. |
