נוסחה

Hebrew
Root
נ־ס־ח (n-s-ḥ)

Alternative forms
  • נוסחא (Aramaic spelling)

Noun

נוסחה / נֻסְחָה • (nuskhá) f (plural indefinite נוסחות / נֻסְחוֹת or נוסחאות / נֻסְחָאוֹת, singular construct נוסחת / נֻסְחַת־)

  1. formula, equation

Usage notes
  • As with other feminine loanwords from Aramaic, the Academy of the Hebrew Language recommends that נוסחה 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.
