La fiesta de Soucoth que el Pentatioco (cinco livros de la ley) llamaHag Aasif, la fiesta de la recolta, es lamas importante y la mas alegre por un pueblo esencialmente agricultor segun era el pueblo de Israel.
The festival of Sukkot that the Pentateuch callsHag Aasif, the harvest festival, is themost important and the most joyful for an essentially agricultural people as were the people of Israel.
Origin unknown. Traditionally theorized to be fromProto-Indo-European*méryos(“young man”), whenceProto-Indo-Iranian*máryas(“young man”), Sanskritमर्य(márya,“suitor, young man”), Ancient Greekμεῖραξ(meîrax,“young girl”), and Old Armenianմարի(mari,“female bird, hen”). But this cannot account for the resultant phonetics, particularly thea-vocalism.
Mās means male, in contrast tofēmina(“female”); thus, it means man (in contrast to woman) when used in reference to an adult human, but it can also be used to refer to male animals, deities, or even plants. "Man" in the sense of “human being” is rendered byhomō, and in the sense of “(free)adultmalehuman being” by Latinvir.
