Punctuated might be wrong, and/or variant with sin (instead of shin) letters is missing. Check e.g. Forvo, or Google. Note, I expect this request to be validated by native Hebrew speaker.Mykhal (talk) 15:09, 3 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Mnemosientje is an advanced speaker of Modern Hebrew, so I fail to see what the added value of validation by a native speaker would be. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 15:53, 3 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
All your investigations show is that the sin variation is in use, and perhaps the predominant usage nowadays- but that's what the entry says. To start with, here (5th line from the top on the left) here (9th line from the bottom on the right), and here (6th line from the top on the right) are pages from the Kauffman Mishnah manuscript, with the word pointed as shin. They have it in the plural, while our entry says it's uncountable- but that's not what's being challenged. I'm not sure if they're independent, but it's a start.

Did you check literally anywhere? A standard dictionary maybe, like Even Shoshan? It's trivially easy to verify that this is a legitimate pronunciation (the original one, judging by the etymology), albeit one that is now increasingly obsolete. This, and what has been linked above by Chuck, should do. — This unsigned comment was added by Mnemosientje (talkcontribs) at 22:30, 3 April 2021 (UTC).Reply
