ArchivesRe: Feminine form of Moshe
in reply to a message by Andy ;—)
Pele (and I think Tene, as well) ends in an aleph, so it's not correct to spell it Peleh.
The only example that currently comes to mind in which the feminine verbal form is used as a name is with Tair, which is the feminine form of Yair. Yaira also feels logical as a name, although I've never met one. Tidhar is also a name, but there's no Yidhar, so I'm not even sure that's its origin. So there is a precedent to the verbal equivalents being used as names.
To the original poster:
Moshit (mo-SHEET) is an extremely rare feminine form of Moshe (that is, I've heard of one case in which the name was used). I doubt it's used at all outside of religious circles.
