SIBI-P1 H7657-03

seventy (seven‑tens)

Morphological NotesAdjective, cardinal number, masculine plural absolute (HAcbpa). Functions as a numeric modifier meaning "seventy." Though morphologically masculine plural, it is used for counting and does not carry natural gender in English.
Rendering RationaleThe term derives from the root שבע ("seven"), and literally denotes "seven tens." Rendering it as "seventy (seven‑tens)" preserves its transparent connection to the base number seven while accurately reflecting its function as a masculine plural cardinal number in the absolute state.
