tza-LAF
צלף
tzadi-lamed-(final) peh
This is masculine, sadly still used for indeterminated gender (very non-PC).
Feminine = tzala-FIT
Masculine plural = tzalafim
Feminine plurarl = tzalafot

Perhaps tzalafiyot would, indeed, be the pl. of tzalafit, and tzalafot the pl. of tzalafa, another possible feminine form. I have to admit that both these feminine forms are not commonly heard: perhaps tzalafa would be the more usual. |
