If you’re like me and Jaws scared the heck out of you, raise your hand.
The Hebrew word for shark is כָּרִישׁ listen and repeat. The plural is כְּרִישִׁים listen and repeat.
 
An example:
 
שֶׁלֹּא נֵדַע מִכְּרִישִׁים.
We shouldn’t know from sharks.
 
דג זהב
 
Note that כריש is spelled differently from the word for blood clot – קְרִישׁ listen and repeat or קְרִישׁ דָּם listen and repeat.
