I agree with Yosi. I don't think that it would work otherwise, i.e., as an adjective.

Bob,
The noun is Tsahut - see Even Shoshan, Alcalay and Milon Ariel ha-makif.

My two cents.

Folks:

I have a recent publication from Mosad Rav Kuk here at my desk which is a republication of a work by Ibn Ezra.  The issue is that the vocalization for the key noun is ambiguous and works either way.

The title is Sefer tsadi-het-vav-tav.  My inclination is to read that as "tsahut."  However, it may also be read as "tsahot," which is grammatical though it seems a less obvious choice. Also, it seems to be the preferred vocalization in OCLC.

Does anyone out there know or have a better sense of what's traditional re. tsahut/tsahot?

Thanks

B
