τέταρτος tétartos · G5067 · fourth, fourth part: Hebrew רְבִיעִי denotes both ordinal 'fourth' (in sequences) and the substantival 'fourth part' (fractional sense), while Greek τέταρτος is the standard ordinal 'fourth' rendering the Hebrew lemma's primary sequential sense across its attestations.
רְבִיעַי rᵉbîyʻay · H7244 · fourth: רְבִיעַי (rᵉbîyʻay, H7244) (Aramaic רְבִיעַי) is the Aramaic cognate equivalent of רְבִיעִי (rᵉbîyʻîy, H7243) (Hebrew רְבִיעִי), both denoting 'fourth' as an ordinal number; the Hebrew lemma additionally carries the extended sense 'foursquare' which the Aramaic attestation does not exhibit in its limited biblical occurrences.
