Noun

Forms: בַּלְשָׁן [canonical], balshán [romanization], בַּלְשָׁנִית [feminine]
Etymology: From a Midrashic interpretation of מָרְדֳּכַי בִּלְשָׁן (mordokhái bilshán, “Mordecai [and] Bilshan”), from Ezra he:T:2 and Nehemiah he:T:7, as referring to one person, with בִּלְשָׁן (bilshán) meaning “one who knows many language” and coming from לָשׁוֹן (lashón, “language”) with the root ל־שׁ־ן, because Mordecai is said to have known seventy languages. The first vowel was changed to match the noun pattern forming names of professions.
