Genesis 2:18

וַ יֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶלֹהִים לֹא טֹוב הֶיֹות הָ אָדָם לְ בַדֹּו אֶעֶשֶׂהּ לֹּו עֵזֶר כְּ נֶגְדֹּו

Hebrew לְבַדּ֛וֹ le-bad-ow. The word means part or separation. Strong’s #905. The prefix and suffix of part yield properly to his own part or his separation. It stems from the verb badad (#909) which means to separate or divide. The reflexive form is badal (Strong’s #914), to be separated or divided and is used of the separation between light and dark-one (Gen. 1:4), between dual-waters to dual-waters (Gen. 1:6), between the Hot-one and the Night (Gen. 1:14), and the light-givers (Gen. 1:18).
