yaldâh
the girl
A female child, girl. The term denotes a young female, generally prior to puberty, emphasizing age and developmental stage rather than marital or social status. In most contexts, yaldâh refers to a girl's age, differentiating her from an older unmarried woman (e.g., בְּתוּלָה, 'virgin; young woman') or a mature woman (אִשָּׁה, 'woman; wife'). The word does not inherently carry implications regarding family status or sexual maturity; its focus is on youth.
