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):

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

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

• This 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 numbers to form thousands, while the plural ܐܲܠܦܵܝܹ̈ܐ (alpāyē) is used for everything else; for example, ܐܲܠܦܵܝܹ̈ܐ ܕܐ݇ܢܵܫܹ̈ܐ ― alpāyē d-nāšē ― Thousands of people.
• As a number, stress falls on the last syllable rather than the penultimate when enumerating a noun after it.

From Aramaic אֵלְפָא (ʾelləp̄ā), from Akkadian 𒈣 (eleppum); compare also borrowed into Ancient Greek λέμβος (lémbos).
