to the hundred
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל (to/for) + definite article (assimilated) + cardinal number, singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base numeral מֵאָה denotes the quantity "one hundred." The prefixed לַ־ with assimilated article yields "to the hundred," preserving the singular cardinal form and its definite sense. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
for every hundred
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'to the hundred' is literal, but distributive context ('from every hundred') makes 'for every hundred' more precise and natural in English for the historical context. |
