לְ/נִדָּֽה
𐤋/𐤍𐤃𐤄
niddâh
a detestable thing
A state or substance of ritual impurity, most often referring to the status of a menstruating woman (and the period of menstruation itself), but also used more generally for states of ritual exclusion or impurity. The term denotes both the physiological event and the consequent state of exclusion from regular cultic or community participation. In extended contexts, can refer metaphorically to abomination or defilement, particularly those causing social or religious isolation.
