What's your source for this definition? Rochelle has said several times that
it's not a
Hebrew word and nobody has challenged that, so I assume she's correct, plus
it doesn't
look like a Hebrew word. Do we know what language it is? Seems to me we'd
need to know
that in order to nail down such a specific definition.
