בת דוד

Hebrew

Noun

בַּת־דּוֹד‎ • (bat-dód) f (plural indefinite בְּנוֹת־דּוֹד‎ or בְּנוֹת־דּוֹדִים‎, masculine counterpart בֶּן־דּוֹד‎)

  1. A female cousin
  2. (specifically) The daughter of an uncle

Usage notes
  • Many speakers distinguish בַּת־דּוֹד‎ from בַּת־דּוֹדָה‎ (bat-dodá, “aunt's daughter”), depending whether the relationship is on the cousin's father's side or his mother's side; many others, however, use בַּת־דּוֹדָה‎ for both cases.
