SIBI-P1 Translation H3967-16
and a hundred of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + cardinal number, singular construct state (both genders). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base numeral מֵאָה denotes the quantity one hundred. The construct singular form מְאַת requires linkage to a following noun, hence "a hundred of," and the prefixed conjunction וּ adds "and." |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and a hundredth of
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Context in Nehemiah is about interest: 'מאת' here refers to 'the hundredth' (interest rate), so 'a hundredth of' is both literal and context-accurate. Restores idiomatic sense. |
