2. ten-stringed instrument — The noun 'asor used to describe a stringed musical instrument with ten strings, or the attribute 'ten-stringed' modifying another instrument (typically nevel or kinnor). Spanish 'diez cuerdas/instrumento de diez cuerdas', Hindi 'das taaron vaali/das taari veena', Arabic 'ashariyin/dhii al-asharati', Korean 'yeol jul/sipyeongeum', and Swahili 'nyuzi kumi/kinanda cha nyuzi kumi' all reflect the musical instrument or its string-count attribute. This is semantically distinct from the ordinal 'tenth' usage despite sharing the same root. 3×

3. ten (cardinal number) — The noun 'asor used as a simple cardinal number meaning 'ten', without ordinal or instrumental connotation. This single occurrence is confirmed across languages as a bare numeral: Spanish 'diez', Hindi 'das', Arabic 'asharatan', Korean 'yeol', and Swahili 'kumi'. Unlike the ordinal sense (which always appears with prepositions in calendrical contexts) or the instrumental sense (which appears with 'strings'), this is the unmodified cardinal value. 1×
