But I try to be melamed zechut on Am Yisrael. There is a noun
"ketz" from the root KTZTZ meaning "end", why
shouldn't there be a noun "netz" from the root

There certainly is such a word meaning "bud", it occurs in
Bereishit 40:10 in the sar hamashkim's description of his dream and in
Hazal.</blockquote><br>
Isn't modern Hebrew filled with all sorts of new words that are not found
