נשׁא #2   n.m. #2  depilated person


  depilated person  LJLA.  PJ Deut22:5 : ולא יספר גבר שיחייה וערייתיה ובי אנפוי לאיתחמאה היך נשא  he must not shave his armpits, genitals or forehead to seem like someone depilated.

The LJLA example is taken by earlier lexicographers to be a unique singular of the plural of "woman". Given that the standard form איתא appears in the same verse, this is exceedingly unlikely. At best it would mean a male dressed and made up like a female.
