WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT

תיקו

תיקו marks a question left unresolved in the sugya. The safe language lesson is functional: the discussion stops without a decisive resolution. Later traditions offer famous acronymic interpretations of the word, but those should be presented, if at all, as later interpretive tradition rather than the basic lexical explanation.
