Hebrew. Nikud (vowel points) shouldn't be indicated on page names, see WT:AHE. Cannot move to שכר because it already exists.

 * The entry has two senses. The sense “intoxicating, strong drink” is represented at by “liquor, intoxicating drink”, but the sense “beer” given at pointed  is not represented at . Is this second sense for real, or is it an overly specific application of a generic sense “alcoholic beverage”? Since the term occurs several times in the Hebrew Bible in coordination with, it is (at least in Biblical Hebrew) not just any alcoholic beverage, though. In Numbers 28:7, the KJV translates this as “strong wine”. And present-day wine (typically 12–14% ABV) tends to be stronger than beer (typically 6–8% ABV). The usual Hebrew word for “beer” is the loan word .  --Lambiam 11:32, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
