SIBI-P1 Translation G1427-01
twelve
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number (determiner), accusative plural; indeclinable in form though functioning syntactically with plural nouns. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is the indeclinable cardinal number meaning "twelve," derived transparently from "two" and "ten." As an accusative plural determiner, it quantifies plural nouns without changing form, so "twelve" preserves both root meaning and enumerative function. |
