And who is a aylonit? It is she who is twenty years old and has not yet grown two pubic hairs. And even if she grows pubic hairs afterward, she is still considered a aylonit with regard to all her matters. And her signs are as follows: she does not have breasts and experiences pain during intercourse. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: It is anyone whose lower abdomen is not formed like that of other women, as she lacks the cushion of flesh that is usually situated above a woman’s genitals. Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: It is anyone whose voice is deep, so that it is not evident from it whether she is a woman or a man.

לילית

he-noun

לִילִית • (lilít) f (plural indefinite לִילִיּוֹת)

לִילִית (canonical)
lilít (romanization)
לִילִיּוֹת (indefinite plural)

A loanword from Akkadian 𒊩𒆤𒇲 (lilû, lilītu), which is itself derived from Sumerian "lil", both referring to the goddess Lilith. See Lamashtu (Akkadian: 𒀭𒈕𒈨, Sumerian: Dimme), who some have identified as Lilith because of various mythological similarities.
For the Hebrew term for Lilith, the Semitic root l-l- (masculine noun meaning "night") is joined to the feminine suffix -t (see לַיְלָה (láylā, “night”)), which can cause the Hebrew term to literally translate to "lady of the night". A similar principle is true of the root word Akkadian 𒊩𒆤𒇲 (lilû, lilītu) as well. There seems to be a wordplay and/or etymological connection in both the Hebrew and the Akkadian between the name "Lilith" and the title "lady of the night". This interestingly adds to the narrative in the Akkadian myths about Lilītu, where she has no husband, and strolls about searching for men in order to ensnare them and enters their houses through the window like the wind, then flees out the window as the wind. The title "lady of the night" would imply that Lilith does these things spoken of in the myths, during the night. The wordplay/etymology being present in Akkadian would provide evidence that the mythological being Lilith or Lilītu, was perceived as "a lady of the night". And it seems that Hebrew has captured this idea as well, in its own technical way unique to its language. So the Hebrew term can perhaps mean "Lilith, the lady of the night".

אֲגַרְטָלִים (indefinite plural)
אֲגַרְטַל־ (construct singular)
אֲגַרְטְלֵי־ (construct plural)
אֲגַרְטֵל (alternative)

Etymology disputed. Many theories exist, the main ones being:
* From Aramaic קרטל (qarṭāl, “basket”) (Syriac spelling ܩܪܛܠܐ) which itself could be from:
** Hittite 𒄑𒆳𒋫𒀀𒀠 (kurtal-, kartal-)
** Middle Persian glyw' (grīw, “a measure of grain, a peck”) + -dʾl (dār, “holder, keeper, container of”), or
** from Ancient Greek.
* From Ancient Greek κάρταλλος (kártallos, “basket with a pointed bottom”), possibly being from either a native Indo-European source or from Aramaic קרטל (qarṭāl, “basket”).
* the Jerusalem Talmud theorizes that the term is a compound of אָגַר (agar, “to accumulate, to store, to hoard”) + טָלֶה (tale, “lamb”), this combination was because the Agartalim were allegedly used to collect the blood of lambs.
