how to say “a leak” in Hebrew

 
Over the past few months Wikileaks has been hovering ominously over the heads of various heads of state.
 
Here’s how to say a leak in Hebrew: דְּלִיפָה (de-lee-FAH).
 
It’s the noun form (gerund) of לִדְלוֹף (leed-LOHF) – to leak. This is a simple (פעל – קל) verb.
 
דליפה can mean either a metaphorical leak such as that of Wikileaks or a literal leak, such as that in one’s roof.
