טְיוּטָה • ‎(tyutá) f ‎(plural indefinite טְיוּטוֹת, singular construct טְיוֹטַת־)

1. draft (early version of a written work)

Usage notes

• As with other feminine loanwords from Aramaic, the Academy of the Hebrew Language recommends that טיוטה be written with a ה ‎(h, “hei”) at the end, rather than with an א ‎(ʾ, “alef”) (as in Aramaic). Nonetheless, the Aramaic spellings are still common today sometimes more common than the recommended spellings. In many cases the different plurals are used interchangeably.
