Talk:רוח קרב

RFD discussion: October 2020–December 2021
Tagged by back in July, with the comment "probably bad Tbot entry".

The phrase literally means "battle spirit", and it gets some hits on Google &#x5B;link&#x5D;, so it's not exactly wrong; but I'm not sure whether it's really a set expression. Interestingly, the first three hits (at least for me) are dictionaries: an AI-based dictionary that shows contextual translations from a large bilingual corpus &#x5B;link&#x5D;, us, and a dictionary that doesn't actually have an entry for this phrase &#x5B;link&#x5D;. Not sure what to make of that!

 * Here the term (in the hyphenated spelling רוח־קרב) is called a “frequently used combination” (in a Biblical context). From the context it would seem that this can be found in both Psalm 51:12 and Ezekiel 11:19 and 36:26. I see the term also used here in a commentary on Pesachim 36 in the, but the text is almost unreadable. --Lambiam 15:54, 7 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. I corrected the translation. It's definitely a common idiomatic expression. It appears as an entry in Even-Shoshan and Rav-Milim. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 11:03, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
