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).
