two paths
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, dual number, absolute state; gender listed as both; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to tread" and denotes a trodden path or course. The dual form is preserved by rendering it explicitly as "two paths," maintaining the concrete sense of paired or double ways. |
