The Hebrew word for tendon – that thing, like a ligament, that we’d rather not tear – is גיד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/גיד-#.m4a” /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/גיד-#.m4a” /]יש לי קרע בגיד.

I have a tear in my (the) tendon.

A ligament is a רצועה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/גיד-#.m4a” /], which is also a strap or a strip: the Gaza Strip is רצועת עזה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/גיד-#.m4a” /].
