K9/1. There is language that is forbidden (1) because it is suggestive
of Lashon Hara. (This type of language is called Avak Lashon Hara,
the “dust” of Lashon Hara). For example, someone says: “Who
would have said he would ever amount to anything and become the
person he is today?” or he says: “Let’s keep quiet about so‑and‑so, I ערָה ןוֹשׁל רפּסל רָתּמדּ )זט( ,םירְִמוֹא שׁיֶּשּׁ המדּ ,עדַו .ח
