ܐܠܦܐ

From Aramaic אַלְפָּא (ʾalpā), from Proto-Semitic *ʔalp-; compare Arabic أَلْف (ʔalf), Hebrew אֶלֶף ('élef), Phoenician 𐤀𐤋𐤐 (ʾlp) and Ugaritic 𐎀𐎍𐎔 (ảlp /⁠ʾalpu⁠/).

• (standard) IPA^(key): [ˈʔal.pɑː]

ܐܲܠܦܵܐ • (alpā) m or f (plural ܐܲܠܦܹ̈ܐ (alpē) or ܐܲܠܦܵܝܹ̈ܐ (alpāyē), construct ܐܵܠܹܦ (ālēp))

1. thousand (1000)

   ܐܲܠܦܵܐ ܫܸܢܹ̈ܐ ܕܬܲܫܥܝܼܬ݂ܵܐ ― alpā šinnē dtašˁīṯā ― a thousand years of history

   ܬܵܘܕܝܼ ܐܲܠܦܵܐ ܓܵܗܹ̈ܐ ― tāwdī alpā gāhē ― thank you so much (literally, “thank you a thousand times”)

• ܐܲܠܦܵܐ (alpā) is and behaves like a normal masculine noun, especially when used as part of larger numbers (2,000, 20,000, etc.); e.g. ܐܲܠܦܹܝܢ (alpēn)/ܬܪܹܝܢ ܐܲܠܦܹ̈ܐ (trēn alpē, “two thousand”), ܚܲܡܫܵܐ ܐܲܠܦܹ̈ܐ (ḥamšā alpē, “five thousand”), ܥܸܣܪܝܼܢ ܐܲܠܦܹ̈ܐ (ˁisrīn alpē, “twenty thousand”).
• The plural form ܐܲܠܦܹ̈ܐ (alpē) is used in numerals to form thousands, while the plural ܐܲܠܦܵܝܹ̈ܐ (alpāyē) is used for everything else; for example, ܐܲܠܦܵܝܹ̈ܐ ܕܐ݇ܢܵܫܹ̈ܐ ― alpāyē d-nāšē ― Thousands of people.
