to one
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + adjective/cardinal number, masculine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְאֶחָד consists of the preposition לְ ('to/for') prefixed to the masculine singular cardinal numeral אֶחָד ('one'). Rendering it as 'to one' preserves both the singular masculine morphology and the core sense of individual unity derived from the root אחד. |
