The definition seems wrong (should be a chapter of a youth organisation), and shouldn't be lemmatised at the plural, but this spelling is suspect as well, so I figured it would be worth checking if it's even attestable first. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:16, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- I found one (Citations:kenim) that seems to be in the right ballpark. DTLHS (talk) 19:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- cited. Just about every use I find prior to 1994 italicizes the word, which I take as a signal for code-switching, but after that there a a number of books that use the word without italics or scare quotes. Kiwima (talk) 00:59, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Kiwima: Those look good, thanks. Can you find any of the singular ken? I want to know whether we should move the lemma there. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- I did notice it once in an italicized version when I was searching, but I would have to go back an search again for something without italics. That will take a while because of the more common meaning of ken. Kiwima (talk) 21:56, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- I have found a couple of instances of ken that are not italicized, so yes, we can move the lemma there. Kiwima (talk) 00:38, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

- I added a few more quotes under the entry, but I don't know how to use the templates, even though I thought I did! I have no clue about an English word "ken" which would connect to "קֵן". Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:52, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
