SIBI-P1 Translation H7651-13
sevenfold
| Morphological Notes | Feminine dual cardinal number in the absolute state; used adverbially to denote multiplication by seven ("seven times"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The dual form functions adverbially to express multiplicity by seven, conveying repetition or intensification as "sevenfold." This preserves both the numerical force of seven and its root association with fullness or completeness. |
