Chapter 2: Plural of Feminine nouns

‎מְנוֹרָה

Lamp, candlestick

Plural Feminine noun rules:

In Hebrew the gender מִין of a noun is, in most cases, determined by its form.

All nouns ending in Komats and He are feminine.

To form the plural of feminine nouns, add וֹת to the singular; as, מִטָּה bed, מִטּוֹת beds.

1. Observe that when the plural termination is added that the Komats and He are omitted; as, מִטּוֹת instead of מִטָּהוֹת.
