??? = 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?

January 8, 2012 4:41 am at 4:41 am #860998WolfishMusingsParticipantlevirate
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.
January 8, 2012 3:18 pm at 3:18 pm #861004Sam2ParticipantPBA: Isn’t Sukkos Pentecost with an ‘e’, not an ‘a’?
January 8, 2012 3:30 pm at 3:30 pm #861005popa_bar_abbaParticipantPBA: Isn’t Sukkos Pentecost with an ‘e’, not an ‘a’?
I dunno. I made the whole thing up anyway.
January 8, 2012 3:35 pm at 3:35 pm #861006Sam2ParticipantI knew that. “-alarium” wasn’t the right ending. I was just pointing out that you misspelled your own made-up word.
January 8, 2012 4:52 pm at 4:52 pm #861007BSDMembershevet=tribe
Actually it’s insulting, not amusing. S/o should speak to artscroll. Tribe evokes images of barbarians in loincloth.
January 8, 2012 5:26 pm at 5:26 pm #861008OneOfManyParticipant????? = Feast of the Tabernacles (alternatively, Feast of the Booths)
?????? = Pentecost
January 8, 2012 7:32 pm at 7:32 pm #861009yitayningwutParticipantYeah, 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?
January 8, 2012 8:40 pm at 8:40 pm #861011OneOfManyParticipantI guess I used “Biblical” kinda loosely there…”Hermeneutics” too, for that matter.
January 8, 2012 9:40 pm at 9:40 pm #861012ItcheSrulikMemberSukkot = Scenophegia (sp?)

And the hebrew word:
yibum — levirate marriage
January 8, 2012 10:07 pm at 10:07 pm #861013dash™ParticipantA 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.

Pentecost (Shavuot) is the fiftiest day after Passover

anthropomorphism = if i recall correctly, this is like “lashon benai adam” – when G-d (or anything non human) is described in human terms.
January 9, 2012 4:15 am at 4:15 am #861024OneOfManyParticipant????? = anthropomorphism

January 9, 2012 8:42 pm at 8:42 pm #861027midwesternerParticipantthe correct word is Septuagint. The shoresh of the (first part of the) word is Septua meaning the 70 zekainim

January 10, 2012 4:17 am at 4:17 am #861035dash™ParticipantIt was the name of a ship.
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.
January 10, 2012 4:18 am at 4:18 am #861036yitayningwutParticipantOh wait no it was the Matrix!
