nine (feminine form)
| Root | תשע (t-š-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | nine, ninth, numerical fullness approaching completion |
| Semantic Range | The number nine; by extension ninth (ordinal) in certain constructions; forms part of compound numbers (e.g., nineteen, ninety). |
| Conceptual Significance | As a numeral, nine often signifies a state nearing fullness or completion (approaching ten). It appears in genealogies, chronological notices, and ritual or administrative counts, contributing to patterns of ordered structure within the biblical text. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number; adjective; feminine singular absolute. Used in gender polarity with masculine counted nouns; masculine counterpart is תִּשְׁעָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form תֵּשַׁע is the feminine singular absolute form of the cardinal number. Hebrew numerals from three to ten display gender polarity; this feminine form is typically used with masculine nouns. The rendering "nine (feminine form)" preserves the lexical meaning while noting the grammatical gender reflected in the morphology (HAcfsa). |
