SIBI-P1 H6240-01
ten
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, masculine singular absolute. Used independently or in combination to form compound numbers (e.g., eleven–nineteen) and ordinal expressions (-teenth). The masculine form typically modifies masculine nouns; a distinct feminine form exists for feminine nouns. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular absolute cardinal number (HAcmsa), so the faithful rendering is the masculine form "ten" used in counting masculine nouns or in compound numerals (e.g., -teen forms). English does not mark grammatical gender in numerals, so "ten" best preserves the lexical and grammatical value of the Hebrew masculine singular form. |
