נוסחה

Hebrew

Alternative forms
  • נוסחא‎ (Aramaic spelling)

Noun

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.
