So do you leave out the word Akoin?
But the father is Akoin.
So how do you write the name in Uxuba?
So as it turns out, it relates to today's Daf, for those who do Dafyami.
So I figured it's a good opportunity to talk about this Shaila.
So there's a chuv in the Onag Yom Tov.
in Simakutman Zayin where he was asked about this exact question but even in a higher stakes situation in Ksivas Haget that when you're writing the name in a get what do you do with a challah whose father is a Kohen how do you write such a name in a get and he had two issues that he had to deal with
First, he said, is our issue, what do you do with the HaKohen?
And the second issue is, can you even write Ben?
Moshiach is after his father, the father is a Kohen, and he's not a Kohen, so maybe he's not really a Ben.
So he right away puts to bed that second issue of being a Ben.
He says, no, it's a Beferish, a Gemara, a Kedush, a Shem, a Chvav, and a Beis, that it's a Zar, a Miyuch, a Sachar, a Rav,
He's for sure the Ben of his father.
That's not a problem.
The problem is the word HaKohen.
So as far as writing HaKohen, the Chumasot Negev says, I also see no problem with it.
Because sometimes when you have a title at the end of a name, sometimes it goes on the father.
and sometimes it goes on the son, and it could go in either direction, so therefore it's not a problem to put it at the end, even though the title really only belongs on the father.
He says, I'll give you an example.
The Ritva in Yuma, Daftesem, and Aleph tells us that Yehud Tzadok was not a Kohen Gadol.
