In Chad Gadya, we say Shelosha Avot and Arba (not Arba'a) Imahot because
Avot is male and Imahot is female. Yet the text reads Asara Dibraya and
shlosha Asar Midaya even though Dibra/Dibrot and Mida/Midot are female.
Has any one seen a discussion related to this Dikduk Problem? Are the
rules in Aramaic different?
