SIBI-P1 H2568-14
and five
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + cardinal number, feminine singular absolute (HC/Acfsa). Used with feminine nouns or in counting where the feminine form is required. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וַ ("and") prefixed to the feminine singular absolute form of the cardinal number חָמֵשׁ ("five"). English numerals do not mark grammatical gender, so "and five" faithfully represents the feminine singular cardinal while preserving the additive force of the conjunction. |
