- לִשָּׁן (lishshân, H3961) (Aramaic לִשָּׁן) is the Aramaic cognate reflex of לָשׁוֹן (lâshôwn, H3956) (Hebrew לָשׁוֹן), both deriving from the shared Semitic root l-š-n denoting 'tongue' (organ) and by extension 'language' (speech); the pairing represents the same lexeme across sister languages rather than distinct semantic concepts.
