  1. testicle
    • Tanach, Leviticus 21:20:

Usage notes

[edit]
  • The most common form of this word is the plural אֲשָׁכִים (ashakhím). The dual form is very rare and does not exist in modern Hebrew.
  • While the proper singular is אֶשֶׁךְ (éshekh), the non-standard pronunciation אָשָׁךְ (ashákh) is far more common.
