| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + masculine cardinal number, dual form, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base form שְׁנַיִם denotes the masculine cardinal number "two," reflecting the concept of doubleness inherent in the root שנה. The prefixed וּ adds the conjunction "and," while the masculine dual form preserves exact quantity. |
