a talent
A round object or area; specifically, (1) a circular or disc-shaped loaf of bread, (2) a region or tract of land of circular formation (notably the area of the Jordan valley, especially south of Jericho), (3) a unit of weight for precious metals (talent), likely referencing a round shape. The word kikkâr thus designates objects (loaf, coin), geographic formations (plain, especially the Jordan valley), and measures (talent) that share a basic quality of roundness or circuit.
