[Mesorah] Shaarei Yashar or Shaarei Yosher?

[Ben K via Mesorah]

Must be "shaarei yosher", as has been pointed out.  Just worth adding that
having a semichut next to a noun that functions as a modifier is a common
occurrence: "mishchat kodesh", "shekel ha-kodesh", etc. mean "the holy
anointment", "the holy coin".  Here too, it means "upright gates."
