SIBI-P1 `H8337-09`

six (masculine singular)

Root	שׁשׁ (sh-sh)
Core Meanings	six, sixth, numerical completeness within a seven-unit cycle
Semantic Range	The cardinal number six; occasionally functions as an ordinal (sixth) in context; used in counting people, objects, days, measures, or units.
Conceptual Significance	Six often signifies human labor and incompleteness in contrast to seven, the number of fullness or completion. It is prominent in the six days of creation, patterns of work before Sabbath rest, and symbolic numerical structures throughout Scripture.
Morphological Notes	Cardinal number; masculine singular absolute form (HAcmsa). Used in counting masculine nouns or in absolute numerical statements; feminine counterpart is שֵׁשׁ or שִׁשָּׁה depending on syntactic use.
Rendering Rationale	The form שִׁשָּׁה is the masculine singular absolute cardinal number. Since English numbers do not reflect grammatical gender, the rendering preserves the masculine singular morphology by explicitly noting it, while accurately conveying the cardinal value "six."
