SIBI-P1 H8672-05
nine (masculine form)
| Root | תשע (t-sh-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | nine, threefold-three, numerical fullness approaching completion |
| Semantic Range | The numeral nine; by extension in compound numbers (nineteen, ninth in certain constructions) and in counting people, animals, or objects. |
| Conceptual Significance | Nine represents a stage just short of ten, a number often associated with fullness or completion in biblical thought. As three times three, it can suggest intensified completeness, yet still anticipates the fullness symbolized by ten. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, masculine singular absolute; used to count masculine nouns. The feminine form is תֵּשַׁע. |
| Rendering Rationale | The word is a masculine singular absolute cardinal adjective (HAcmsa), so the rendering preserves its function as a masculine form of the number. While English numbers do not mark gender, noting the masculine form reflects its agreement with masculine nouns in Hebrew. |
