Halakoth

/hɑːˈlɑːkoθ/ noun

Definition

An alternate plural form of halakah; multiple instances or rulings of Jewish religious law.

Etymology

From Hebrew הלכות (halakoth), using the Hebrew plural form with -oth ending instead of the English -s plural. This preserves the original Hebrew pluralization pattern.

Kelly Says

Hebrew has its own plural form (halakoth), but English speakers often use 'halakahs' instead—creating multiple valid plurals for the same word depending on whether you're using Hebrew or English rules.
