[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from English exhaust.
Pronunciation

Noun
[edit]אֶגְזוֹז • (egzóz) m (plural indefinite אֶגְזוֹזִים, singular construct אֶגְזוֹז־, plural construct אֶגְזוֹזֵי־)
Usage notes
[edit]This word is generally not recognized as a loanword by speakers of Modern Hebrew, and therefore its stress follows the pattern of regular nouns. Thus its plural is typically pronounced egzozím, not *egzózim; contrast the plural of גֶּן (gen, “gene”), which (being perceived as a foreign word) is pronounced génim instead of *gením.
