A suffix form meaning '-teen' or '-teenth,' used in combination with numerals to indicate numbers from eleven to nineteen (e.g., ʻechad asar, 'eleven'; shenayim asar, 'twelve'), and in the feminine, '-esreh.' It does not stand alone as 'ten,' but rather modifies other numerals to form compound numbers within the teens or their respective ordinal forms.
