SIBI-P1 Translation H8532-04
three of them
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic cardinal number, masculine singular construct, with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is the masculine singular construct of the Aramaic numeral תלת ('three') with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, indicating a partitive sense—'three belonging to them' or 'three of them.' This preserves both the cardinal value and the attached pronominal suffix. |
