Etymology

In קְטוּלָה‎ pattern. From Aramaic טִיוּטָא‎, from the root ט־י־ט‎ (“relating to deleting”).

Noun

טְיוּטָה • (tyutá) f (plural indefinite טְיוּטוֹת‎, singular construct טְיוֹטַת־‎)

Usage notes
  • As with other feminine loanwords from Aramaic, the Academy of the Hebrew Language recommends that טיוטה be written with a ה (h, “hei”) at the end rather than with an א (ʾ, “alef”) (as in Aramaic). Nonetheless, the Aramaic spellings are still common today, sometimes more common than the recommended spellings. In many cases the different plurals are used interchangeably.
