Hebrew PSTQ,plur.PSTQYM, from Middle Iranian pistak (cf. SDA ), means “pistachio, pistachio nut”, Pistacia vera L. (JD f.; LW :; SD ; SDA f.: Aram. à÷úñéô; KA :, :; AEY :; FE ; FO ; LF :ff.; LA ff.:; cf. as well Bet no.  above) and features in Rabbinic literature, e.g. in bGit a. Arabic fustuq or fustaq designates the same plant (L ; D :; DT :; M ; ID :; LA :) and features in medieval medical literature, for instance, in Maimonides On Asthma (III, ; cf. BMA ) and is transcribed by Samuel Benveniste as: ÷úñô. For the identification of the Aramaic form à÷úñéô,cf.LOPerushim on bGit a, p. : ä÷úñåô éáøò ïåùìá àåäå à÷úñéô. The vernacular term is the plural of O. Occ. or O. Cat. festuc(h) for ‘pistachio’ (DAO :; PSW :a; RPA ; FEW :a; DECLC :b; AdV ). In O. Occ., the term is documented for the first time in  (DAO loc. cit.). For the identification of Arab. fustuq/fustaq as O. Cat. festuchs,cf. AdV , ; cf. also GHAT where we find, for Romance (O. Cat.), the singular PSTWQ˘ identified as the same Arabic term (GHAT :).

Hebrew PYGM, from Greek πγανν (KG :; LS ), designates the herb “rue”, Ruta graveolens L. and Chalepensis L.

PYGM PRDSY means “garden rue” and is probably a loan transla- tion of Arabic sad¯ab bust¯an¯ı that features, for instance, in Maimonides’ ¯

For the identification of PYGM as sad¯ab,cf.Sa#adya (SAM :), EG , and Maimonides on the Mishnah¯ mentioned above (MK :). The vernacular term ruda is O. Occ.or O. Cat.,meaning “rue” as well. The word is documented for the first time in the th century (CB ; RMA ; RM , , , , , , ; RMM , , , , ; FEW :a; DAO :; RL :b; DECLC :b). For the identification of Arab. sad¯ab as O. Cat. ruda, cf. AdV ,  and GHAT :; in the latter, the¯ transcription of the Romance term (O. Cat.) into Hebrew characters corresponds to that of our MSS.
