third
sha.lish denotes a third, though its precise contribution is not isolated by the supplied translation passages.
The two supplied occurrences support the gloss-level use “third,” but the APB translation does not make the noun’s specific role recoverable in either the measuring-and-weighing scene of Isaiah 40:12 or the communal complaint of Psalm 80:6.

A third, with context-specific role unclear · dominant
Both occurrences use a common masculine singular absolute noun. In Isaiah 40:12 the APB renders a sequence of measuring waters, marking off the heavens, enclosing dust, and weighing mountains and hills; in Psalm 80:6 it renders a complaint that the community has become an object of strife and mockery. The translation does not identify which English expression corresponds to the noun in either verse.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents Isaiah 40:12 through imagery of measurement and weighing, while Psalm 80:6 presents strife and mockery. It does not isolate a consistent English rendering for this noun.
