Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ prefixed to cardinal number; singular, absolute state; usable with both genders.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
