Usage: The term צַמָּה (tsammah) is used in the context of a veil or covering, often associated with modesty or concealment.

Context: • The Hebrew word צַמָּה (tsammah) appears in the context of ancient Near Eastern customs where veils were commonly used by women as a sign of modesty and social status.
