(שְׁלשׁ קַלְּשׁון, shelosh' killeshon', a triad of prongs), a three-pronged fork, i.e., pitch-fork with which hay, straw, and the like are gathered (occurs only 1 Samuel 13:21). The Targum (on Ecclesiastes 12:11) uses the same word to express a pointed instrument. (See AGRICULTURE).
The Orientals do not use forks at meals as we do but convey the food to their mouth with the fingers. (See EATING).
