I am learning Hebrew, and the word for the color red is "adom", "adoma" "adomot" and "adomeem"; male, feminine, feminine plural, and unisex plural. I think this means 'scarlet'.
In Hebrew it means "scarlet", in Irish it means "Beautiful", and it has numerous in Swahili, including "marvelous", "adventure", "curiosity", & "wonderful."
Shani should be distinguished from the Hebrew "adom" (red). Shani means "scarlet". It can be seen to symbolise the "scarlet thread" that runs through Biblical and Jewish lore. Some contemporaries wear a red thread tied around the wrist, believing that the string will protect them from the “evil eye” and bring them good luck.
