בן דוד

Hebrew

Noun

בֶּן־דּוֹד‎ • (ben-dód) m (plural indefinite בְּנֵי־דוֹד‎ or בְּנֵי־דוֹדִים‎, feminine counterpart בַּת־דּוֹד‎)

  1. A (male) cousin.
  2. (specifically) The son of an uncle.

Usage notes
  • Many speakers distinguish בֶּן־דּוֹד‎ from בֶּן־דּוֹדָה‎ (ben-dodá, “aunt's son”), depending whether the relationship is on the cousin's father's side or his mother's side; many others, however, use בֶּן־דּוֹד‎ for both cases.
