in one hundred
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ prefixed to cardinal number; singular, absolute state; usable with both genders. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base numeral מֵאָה denotes the quantity 'one hundred.' The prefixed preposition בְּ adds the sense "in/with/by," and without context is most neutrally rendered "in one hundred," preserving both the numeral and the prepositional prefix. |
