Chuppoth

/ˈxʊpɔt/ noun

Definition

An alternative or archaic plural form of chuppah following Hebrew pluralization rules rather than English ones.

Etymology

From Hebrew חוּפּוֹת (chuppot), the traditional Hebrew plural of chuppah (חוּפָּה). This form appears in English texts written by speakers preserving Hebrew grammar rules rather than adopting English pluralization.

Kelly Says

Chuppoth is a linguistic time capsule—it's what you get when people care so much about their tradition that they keep the Hebrew plural even when speaking English. Most modern English speakers use chuppahs instead, showing how immigrant languages gradually conform to English patterns.
