SIBI-P1 H8147-01
in two (masculine dual)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + common masculine dual absolute numeral שְׁנַיִם ("two"). The dual ending -ַיִם marks specifically two items, masculine form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form בִּשְׁנַיִם consists of the preposition בְּ (“in, by, with”) attached to the masculine dual absolute שְׁנַיִם (“two”). Rendering it as “in two (masculine dual)” preserves both the core sense of duality from the root שני and the explicitly masculine dual grammatical form indicated in the morphology. |
