Challote

/ˈxɑːloʊt/ noun

Definition

A variant spelling of challot, representing the Hebrew plural of challah in English transliteration.

Etymology

From Hebrew 'ḥallot' with variant spelling, reflecting different approaches to Romanizing the Hebrew plural form. This variant may preserve a different transliteration convention or regional pronunciation.

Kelly Says

The presence of multiple 'correct' spellings for the same Hebrew word shows that Hebrew was never designed to use the Roman alphabet—every transliteration is essentially a translation choice.
