SIBI-P1 Translation H6471-03
two strokes
| Morphological Notes | Feminine noun, dual number, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dual feminine absolute form of פַּעַם (“stroke, beat, step, occurrence”) denotes two instances of a striking or beating. Rendering it as “two strokes” preserves both the root idea of striking/pulsing and the dual number indicating repetition. |
