תחמר   n.m.  covering (??)


  covering (?)  LJLA.  PJ Gen20:16 : הא הינון ליך תחמרא דעיינין  [MT הִנֵּה הוּא־לָךְ כְּסוּת עֵינַיִם] †.

The entire expression כְּסוּת עֵינַיִם is rendered as "given to you as a gift" in the Palestinian targumim, so the equivalence with BH כְּסוּת is far from certain, and a required emendation to תחמדא or the like is likely.
