Given the importance of this item to civilization, the Hebrew word for gate or opening – שער[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/שער-#.m4a” /] – is one of the oldest, and may even be related to the German word Tor – gate or door (perhaps door is related as well).
שער is also used to mean a book cover, as well as an entrance to a city or region:
