Yiddish: חלק (kheylek)

היום והלילה ארבע ועשרים שעות בכל זמן. שתים עשרה ביום ושתים עשרה בלילה. והשעה מחולקת לאלף ושמנים חלקים

12th century, רמב"ם הלכות קידוש החודש ו ב

The day and the night are twenty four hours at all times. Twelve in the day and twelve in the night. And the hour is divided to one thousand and eighty halakim.

אין מסתבר להסביר שסטייה זו של הלוח העברי נובעת רק מהשיטה לחלק את השעה ל־1080 חלקים

2016, אביגדור אמיתי, זמן המולד הממוצע ומקורותיו במשך הדורות:

It's not reasonable to explain that this deviation of the Hebrew calendar derives only from the system that divides the hour to 1080 halakim.

הקדמונים חילקו את השעה ל־1080 "חלקים". כל "חלק" הוא אפוא 3 שניות ושליש

2007, אלון אולארצ'יק, משך הזמן ממולד הלבנה עד המולד הבא אחריו, אנציקלופדיה דעת

The ancient people divided the hour into 1080 "halakim". Every "helek" is therefore 3 seconds and one third.

→ Russian: гой (goj)
→ Polish: goj
→ Spanish: goy

Uncertain, possibly related to גֵּו (gév, “body, torso”), i.e. an ”ethnic body”.
Hans Bauer instead suggests a qatl- derivation from גָּאָה (gaʼá, “to rise”), as in Arabic قَوْم (qawm, “nation”) from قَامَ (qāma) and جَيْش (jayš, “troop”) from جَاشَ (jāša).
The semantic shift to "member of another nation" had already begun in antiquity, appearing in extrabiblical sources such as the Damascus Document, and is the likely source of analogous terms like Latin gentilis and English gentile.

אל ישבית איש במקום קרוב לגויים בשבת

c. 30 BCE, “11.14–15”, in Damascus Covenant:

A man may not stay in a place close to goyim on Shabbat.

אין משכירין כלים לגוי בערב שבת וברביעי ובחמישי מותר

Tools may not be lent to a goy on Erev Shabbat, Wednesday or Thursday.

וְכָל מָקוֹם שֶׁנֶּאֱמָר גּוֹי סְתָם, הֲרֵי זֶה עוֹבֵד עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה.

c. 1180, Maimonides, “Hilchot Ma'achalot Assurot 11:8”, in Mishneh Torah:

And wherever we simply say "goy," this means an idolator.

צריך לברך בכל יום שלא עשני גוי שלא עשני עבד שלא עשני אשה

1563, Joseph Karo, “Orach Chayim 46.4”, in Shulchan Aruch:

It is necessary to bless every day: who didn't make me a goy, who didn't make me a slave, who didn't make me a woman.

(from Late Ancient Hebrew, Judaism) gentile (a non-Jewish person), goy
