SIBI-P1 Translation H6242-04

like twenty

Morphological NotesPreposition כ ("as/like") prefixed to adjective, cardinal number, plural, absolute form.
Rendering RationaleThe form עֶשְׂרִים is the plural-derived cardinal meaning "twenty" (ten doubled), and the prefixed כ adds the sense "as/like." Thus the word as formed means "like twenty," preserving both the numeral and the prefixed preposition.
