Jastrow: תְּלִיָּיה

תְּלִיָּיה f. (תָּלָה) 1) suspension, hanging. Snh. 46ᵇ אחד קושר … מצות ת׳ one ties (the body of the stoned culprit to the pole), and one unties, in order to comply formally with the command of hanging (Deut. XXI, 22).—2) suspense, doubt. Y. Yoma VI, 43ᶜ top ועשהו חטאת קבעו בת׳ שלא יידחה ‘and shall make it a sin-offering’ (Lev. XVI, 9), the text declares it a sin-offering even during the suspense, so that it cannot be removed from its designation (by a subsequent event); קבעו בת׳ שיזדווג וכ׳ the text puts it in suspense (makes its designation dependent on a condition), that it be matched with its fellow (and it loses its sacred character if the fellow goat is unavailable). Y. Ḥag. I, end, 76ᵈ אם באת … לתלות ואם לשרוף … יותר מן הת׳ if a case (of T’rumah) comes before thee, and thou dost not know whether to declare it doubtful (תָּלוּי) or to condemn it to be burnt, be rather inclined to condemn than to declare doubtful; Y. Sot. VIII, beg. 22ᵇ
