חֵ֨לֶק֙
𐤇𐤋𐤒
chêleq
a-portion
A portion, share, or part designated or received, whether material or abstract. The term most commonly refers to an allotted portion of land, inheritance, or resources among a group, but can also denote a figurative share (such as one's fate or role), and occasionally implies a portion received by lot, distribution, or apportionment. In a different semantic extension, it can refer to a portion of speech (flattery) via a root association with smoothness.
