מוהל¹
- /moˈ(h)el/ Modern Israeli
Where it comes from
Present participle of מָהַל (mahál, “to cirumcise”). First appearing in Tosefta Berakhot 6:12 (according to the Lieberman edition) during late antiquity. The choice to use the participle of מָהַל rather than מָל is likely due to Aramaic influence, where מְהַל is more commonly used for circumcision.
