Gershayim (, without niqqud ), also occasionally grashayim〔.〕 (), names two distinct typographical marks in the Hebrew language. The name literally means "double geresh". ==Punctuation mark== Gershayim most commonly refers to the punctuation mark . It is always written before the last letter of the non-inflected form of a word or numeral. It is used in the following ways: *To indicate an acronym.〔(Hebrew punctuation guidelines, § 31 ), Academy of the Hebrew Language〕 For example: דּוּ״חַ (singular), דּוּ״חוֹת (plural), "report" represents דין וחשבון; and מ״כ (masculine), מַ״כִּית (feminine), "squad commander" represents מפקד כיתה. *To indicate a multi-digit Hebrew numeral. For example: ח״י represents 18.〔 ff.〕 Single-digit numerals are indicated with a following geresh. *To indicate the names of Hebrew letters, differentiating them from any homographs.〔 Compare הוּא שִׂרְטֵט עַיִן "he sketched an eye" with הוּא שִׂרְטֵט עַיִ״ן "he sketched an ayin". *To indicate Hebrew word roots.〔 For example: the root of תַּשְׁבֵּצִים "crossword puzzles" is שב״צ ((unicode:š—b—ṣ)); the root of לְהַטּוֹת "to tilt, to conjugate" is נט״ה ((unicode:n—ṭ—h)); and the root of הִסְתַּנְכְּרְנוּת "becoming synchronized" is סנכר״נ (s–n–k–r–n). *In older texts, to indicate the transliteration of a foreign word. This use corresponds to English's use of italics. For example: in printed works of Rashi, the town of Rashi's birth, Troyes, is spelled טרוי״ש. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「gershayim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
