But oranges do.
The Hebrew word תַּפּוּז[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/תפוז-1.mp3″ /], a fruit not mentioned in Biblical Hebrew, is a compound of תַּפּוּחַ זָהָב[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/תפוז-2.mp3″ /] – literally, an apple of gold.
And orange juice is מִיץ תַּפּוּזִים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/תפוז-3.mp3″ /], as in:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/תפוז-4.mp3″ /]אֵין עַל מִיץ תַּפּוּזִים קָר בְּיוֹם קַיִץ חָם.
There’s nothing better than cold orange juice on a hot summer day.
