### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here it names the technical vocabulary of Hebrew grammar, such as the "mothers" among the letters. Interpretation: Sefer Yetzirah divides the Hebrew letters into mothers, doubles and simples, and the tradition reads each group as having its own special role in creation. In the primary lessons: In school, teachers ask pupils to «use the correct terminology», for example «numerator» and «denominator» in maths, or «photosynthesis» in science, or «noun» and «verb» in grammar. Phrases: «technical terminology», «scientific terminology», «correct terminology».

### examples

- In usual Hebrew grammatical terminology, the term ‘mothers’ is reserved for the אִמּוֹת קְרִיאָה immot qeriʼah, ‘mothers of reading’ (whence Latin matres lectionis), the letters אהו״י Alef-Heh-Waw-Yod which can serve to represent either consonants or vowels.
