SIBI-P1 H8147-26
two (feminine form)
| Root | שנה (sh-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | repetition, secondness, doubling, change |
| Semantic Range | two, both, a pair, double, second (in construct expressions), twice (in certain idioms) |
| Conceptual Significance | The number two often signifies confirmation and sufficient witness in biblical thought (e.g., two witnesses), partnership or pairing, and the idea of doubling or repetition embedded in its root concept of secondness. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, feminine form, dual in sense, absolute state. Used with feminine nouns or when the feminine form of "two" is required by agreement. |
| Rendering Rationale | שְׁתַּיִם is the feminine absolute form of the cardinal number "two," derived from the root conveying repetition or doubling (שנה). The rendering "two (feminine form)" preserves both the core sense of duality/doubling and the explicitly feminine grammatical form indicated by the morphology (HAcfda). |
