lirot
Sayli-ROHTUS/lɪˈɹoʊt/UK/lɪˈɹəʊt/
- 1Plural of lira, used for the former Israeli lira (replaced by the shekel in 1980).
Before 1980, prices in Tel Aviv shops were marked in lirot.
The merchant counted out the lirot before handing over the goods.
Note
A Hebrew-shaped plural: the feminine ending -ot stands where English would put -s, and that ending ties the form to the former currency of Israel, the lira later superseded by the sheqel. It belongs with prices and sums from that era. The other things called lira, such as Turkish or Italian money, the Ukrainian folk instrument, or the fine ridges on a mollusk shell, are not what this plural names.
