Just a point of dikduk- of which Talmid lo chacham made me think. I always thought that the word “talmid” in “talmid chochom” is translated in the possessive form, meaning talmid (shel ish) chochom, the student of a wise person, and not “a wise student.” Therefore, the feminine form would not be talmida chachama, but talmidas chochom (or chachama if her teacher were a learned woman). Anyone know anything about this? Just curious…
