Usage notes
- In current usage, the noun ויכוח (vikúakh) is much more common than the verb ויכח (vikákh) from which it derives. The more common verb is התווכח (hitvakéakh); indeed, etymological considerations aside, ויכוח (vikúakh) may perhaps be thought of as an action noun for the latter. (A regularly formed action noun התווכחות (hitvak'khút) does exist, but is much less common.)
