SIBI-P1 H7969-21

and three

Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + cardinal number, feminine singular absolute (Acfsa). The feminine form שְׁלֹשׁ is used when enumerating feminine nouns.
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the conjunction וְ/וּ ("and") prefixed to the feminine singular cardinal number שְׁלֹשׁ ("three"). English numerals do not mark grammatical gender, so "and three" preserves the numeric sense, while the underlying feminine form reflects agreement with a feminine noun in context.
