8 ‎[1] SPIT. The meaning of *yarok* (spit) is known. It comes from a double root. The fact that the *kof* of *rukki* (my spittle) (Job 7:19) has a *dagesh* is proof of this. Note, the spit of the one who suffers an issue is harmful, for the issue is one of the infectious diseases. It is not the practice of men to spit in the face of other people. What happened occurred unintentionally. The one suffering from an issue expectorated his spittle and it fell on a clean person.
