    ??? = exegesis

    ???? = Pentateuch

    ?????? = Hagiographa

    ?? ????? = a fortiori

    I once made a whole list of these, but I can’t find it now. 🙁 Trying to reconstruct it from scratch. Anyone have any to add?

    levirate

    From the latin “levir” meaning “brother in law”

    Tetragrammaton

    Again, latin “Tetra” = four, “gram” or “gramma” = letters.

    Pentatuch

    Once again, latin. “Penta” = five. “tuchos” = tool or book.

    How do you spell that word? As far as I know that word hidden.

    I dunno. I made the whole thing up anyway.

    I knew that. “-alarium” wasn’t the right ending. I was just pointing out that you misspelled your own made-up word.

    shevet=tribe

    Actually it’s insulting, not amusing. S/o should speak to artscroll. Tribe evokes images of barbarians in loincloth.

    ????? = Feast of the Tabernacles (alternatively, Feast of the Booths)

    ?????? = Pentecost

    Yeah, Pentecost is Shavuos because it means fiftieth (and Shavuos is the fiftieth day of the Omer).

    A zonah is not a paramour. That would probably be closer to the definition of pilegesh.

    Oh and OneOfMany, lol, when have you last seen the phrase ?? ????? in Biblical literature?

    I guess I used “Biblical” kinda loosely there…”Hermeneutics” too, for that matter.

    Sukkot = Scenophegia (sp?)

    Wolf:

    And the hebrew word:

    A zonah is not a paramour. That would probably be closer to the definition of pilegesh.

    No a Pilegesh is a comcubine and a Noef is a paramour. I’m not sure what a Zonah is. (Although in the broadest definition Zonah could mean paramour.)

    I stand corrected. I thought paramour meant something else, but you are right.

    the correct word is Septuagint. The shoresh of the (first part of the) word is Septua meaning the 70 zekainim

    I think you got your movies mixed up. The Matrix had a ship named Nebuchadnezzar. I don’t remember any ship with that name in Star Wars.
