High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Etrog (Hebrew: ) refers to the yellow citron or Citrus medica used by Jews on the week-long holiday of Sukkot. While in modern Hebrew this is the name for any variety of citron, its English usage is commonly applied only to those varieties and specimens typically used for the Jewish ritual as one of the Four species. In any case, it doesn't apply only to one specific variety. The romanization as Etrog is according to the Sephardic pronunciation, widely used in Israel through Modern Hebrew. The Ashkenazi pronunciation as in Yiddish, is esrog or esrig. Rarely it could also be transliterated as Ethrog even in scholarly work, which is according to the Yemenite Hebrew. Rabbinical Judaism sees the etrog referred to in the Bible as p'ri eitz hadar ( ), literally "a fruit of the beautiful tree." In modern Hebrew, hadar refers to the genus citrus. Nahmanides (1194 – c. 1270) suggests that the word was the original Hebrew name for the citron. According to him, the word etrog was introduced over time, adapted from the Aramaic.
