tsôr
a flint
Tsôr denotes 'flint' or 'hard stone,' specifically a very hard, fine-grained siliceous stone typically used in antiquity for making tools, weapons, or implements. In context, it can refer more broadly to implements made from such stone, notably knives or blades used for cutting or ritual purposes. The term is primarily material in reference but by extension can refer to objects crafted from flint, especially those with practical or ritual use (such as circumcision knives).
