n. God.
Record a Sentence
portmanteau of two names for God: Adonai and Hashem
Use of Hashem to mean God "comes from the belief that the name of God [Adonai] should only be said in prayer and with reverence" (Eisenberg). However, where the same number of syllables as Adonai are needed, such as in liturgical musical pieces, Adoshem is sometimes used.
