Both "little" and "precious" are adjectives, and adjectives in Hebrew must be agreed with the amount and gender of their nouns.

"Little":
(singular male):katan ~ka-tAn~ (קטן)
(singular female): ktanah ~kta-nAh~ (קטנה)
(plural males): ktanim ~kta-nEEm~ (קטנים)
(plural females): ktanot ~kta-nOt~ (קטנות)

"Precious" is the same word for "expensive":
(singular male):yakar ~ya-kAr~ (יקר)
(singular female): yekarah ~ye-ka-rAh~ (יקרה)
(plural males): yekarim ~ye-ka-rEEm~ (יקרים)
(plural females): yekarot ~ye-ka-rOt~ (יקרות)

Shanah tovah!

Hebrew Word For Small

Hmm. If you want two separate words, one for "little" and one for "precious", take a look at yotg's answer.

If you want one word that means both "little" and "precious", well, there is no single word that means both.
However, you can try the following words:
"ktan-TO-net" for a girl
"ktan-TON" for a boy

These words mean "little one" and are often used as a term of endearment (which implies preciousness).

First off- not every word with the suffic -"im" is a plural. Its a fallacy from people who do not know Hebrew well enough. Two common words that every Hebrew speaker should know prove this point: Mayim= water Shanayim= sky Why the confusion with the word elohim? It comes about because people try to make simplistic interpretations of Hebrew where words frequently have multiple meanings dependent on context. So lets analyze the word Elohim: Context 1: When being used to refer to God- it is a plural in the context of the royal "we" of english. Context 2: It is singular when used to refer his nature of being the ultimate King and Judge: an aspect that encompases God's aspect as the ultimate King, Ruler and Judge- with the implication that every king, ruler or judge is a reflection of that aspect of God. For this reason, there is special blessing that Orthodox Jews say when they see a king (independent of the King's religion- merely having that position means they are connected to this aspect of God). Context 3: The next major meaning of elohim is as a reference to any of the supernatural forces through which God operates in this world. None of these kochot (another term for supernatural forces) have any free will (including angels), but merely act as an extension of God. Thus in this context elohim is used to refer to angels or any other supernatural force controlled by God Context 4: is when the Bnei Elohim (Sons of Elohim) are referenced. here it is talking about the children of judges who strayed from the path of their parents who, as judges and thus reflective of this aspect of God, and abused their position in society. Now your quoting of "us" in terms of when G-d says "Let us make man" Once again- multiple explanations exist- none of which violate the idea of G-d being a single, unique, indivisible being The Us- is God addressing his partner in creation- HUMANKIND. The way it is understood is this. God created man to be partners with him in creation. Thus in the spiritual realm- it is incomplete without the observance of the Sabbath day by people- and thus we partner with God in the spiritual realm. In the physical realm- we learn that God intended for us to be his partners in creation with him as well. He thus addresses himself to the souls of the future generations, telling us that there will be something for us to do in the completion of the creation of man. It is the Jewish belief, expounded on by the Ramban in his commentaries to Bereishis (Genesis), that God in essence only created two things, both on the first day. From the one- everything physical evolved- from the other- everything spiritual, thus the souls of mankind were already in existence by the sixth day- albeit not in bodies. God's intervention is needed here to combine the physical with the spiritual since naturally the two would not combine. So, what is the physical act of creation that we do in order to be partners with God in creation? that is seen in the Bris Milah- circumcision. Just as the Sabath day was the Jews sealing of their spiritual covenant with God and becoming his partner in spiritual creation- so the Bris Milah is the physical covenant through which we become God's partners in his creation of the physical world. Alternative explanations: 1) "Us" is the royal "us" used by a king or ruler when referring to himself 2) "Us" refers to the angels of the Heavenly court- by consulting with them G-d taught us the proper behaviour of a ruler- to consult with his advisors before making an important decision.
