Etymology
Mishnaic, from Ancient Greek πίναξ (pínax, “board, plank; tablet”), likely through a form such as πίνακος (pínakos) or πίνακας (pínakas), the former representing either the genitive or a dialectal nominative, and the latter representing the ancestor of the Modern Greek πίνακας (pínakas).
Noun
פִּנְקָס • (pinkás) m or f (plural indefinite פִּנְקָסִים, singular construct פִּנְקַס־, plural construct פִּנְקְסֵי־)
