עֶשֶׁת f.
(1) something fabricated, workman-ship, Song of Solomon 5:14 from the root עָשַׁת No. 2. It appears to have become fem. from the letter ת having been misunderstood in this place (Lehrg. 474).
(2) thought, opinion. Plur. Job 12:5, לְעַשְׁתּוֹת שַׁאֲנָן “as to the opinions of him who is in prosperity,” i.q. בְּעֵינֵי. Several MSS. apparently, and some printed editions read לְעַשְׁתּוּת (sing. of the form מַלְכוּת), but I find no other trace of this form even in the Aram. language.
(3) Of the same word plur. const. apparently is (if the form be regarded) עַשְׁתֵּי, which when joined with the numeral ten (עַשְׁתֵי עָשָׂר m. and עַשְׁתֵּי עֶשְׂרֵה f.) denotes eleven, also eleventh, Deuteronomy 1:3; Jeremiah 39:2; Ezekiel 26:1. Jo. Simonis thus explains this, “more thoughts than ten, i.e. a number to be conceived in thought, or in the mind, while the preceding numbers have been counted on the fingers;” this is marvellously improbable, although no better reason can be given.
