</i></font><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">In Chad Gadya, we say
Shelosha Avot and Arba (not Arba'a) Imahot because<br>
Avot is male and Imahot is female. Yet the text reads Asara Dibraya
and<br>
shlosha Asar Midaya even though Dibra/Dibrot and Mida/Midot are
female.<br>
Has any one seen a discussion related to this Dikduk Problem? Are
the<br>
rules in Aramaic different?</blockquote><br>
<font size=4 color="#000080">In Hebrew, the singular of dibrot, as in
aseret hadibrot, is dibber. And from the use of aseret you can know
that dibber is a masculine noun.<br><br>
