⁧שתיים / שְׁתַּיִם⁩ • (shtáyim) (Biblical Hebrew pausal form ⁧שְׁתָּיִם⁩)

  1. feminine of ⁧שניים \ שְׁנַיִם⁩

Usage notes
  • ⁧שְׁתַּיִם⁩ is a rare example of a Hebrew word with an initial consonant cluster (i.e. with a sh'va nakh on the first letter). Because of this, the ⁧שׁ⁩ is not doubled when the definite article ⁧הַ־⁩ (ha-) is added: ⁧הַשְׁתַּיִם⁩ (hashtáyim).
