SIBI-P1 H7969-11
for three (feminine)
| Root | שלש (sh-l-sh) |
| Core Meanings | three, triad, triplet, tri-fold pattern |
| Semantic Range | three; third (in some contexts); thrice; a triad; a group of three; threefold pattern |
| Conceptual Significance | The number three in biblical literature often conveys completeness, stability, or emphasis through repetition (e.g., actions done three times). Its feminine form reflects the Hebrew system of gendered numerals, underscoring the structured and patterned nature of biblical expression. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to a feminine singular absolute cardinal number (adjective), שְׁלֹשׁ. The feminine form is used when counting feminine nouns or in certain fixed expressions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun שְׁלֹשׁ is the feminine form of the cardinal number "three." The prefixed לְ (here vocalized לִ) adds the sense "to/for," yielding "for three." The rendering preserves the feminine grammatical form indicated by Acfsa and the prepositional prefix. |
