There is no true attributive form for "one"; usually the singular form is used in isolation. The Hebrew numeral אחד ''echăd'' (regardless of gender) may be used after the noun means "just one X" when X is indefinite and "the (one and) only X" when X is definite. (Some dialects have ''echăv'', reflecting an earlier Hebrew reading tradition where lenited daleth was [v].)
