remnant
she.ar denotes what remains of a people, group, place, or quantity after others or more have been excluded or diminished.
The term most often marks the portion of a people or named group that remains, whether gathered, resident, returning, or set apart from others; in a smaller set of contexts, it marks what is left of material, a city, a record, trees, or a measured quantity.

Remaining people or collective group · dominant
The singular construct form identifies a portion belonging to a larger people or group: in Isaiah 10:20 the APB renders a group of Israel that no longer leans on its striker, and in Isaiah 11:11 it renders those of the people whom the LORD recovers from named lands. In Nehemiah 11:1 the contrast is concrete: one out of ten is brought to dwell in Jerusalem while nine parts remain in the cities.

What is left of a thing, place, or quantity · common
The same noun can mark a non-human or non-collective remainder. In 2 Chronicles 24:14 the APB renders what was left of the silver after the work was finished; in Isaiah 10:19 it renders the trees left in the forest as so few that a youth could write them, and in Isaiah 21:17 it renders a diminished remainder connected with the number of bows.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses the APB commonly uses "remnant" and sometimes "rest" for the surrounding clause, as in 2 Chronicles 9:29 and Nehemiah 11:1. Those English choices show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed token-by-token rendering.
