==Origin== The term pinkes is derived from the Greek word πίναξ, meaning a board or writing-tablet. It originally referred to a physical writing-tablet, as described in the Mishnah, which came in three types: A tablet covered with dust, primarily used for arithmetical calculations, and large enough to serve as a seat; A tablet covered with a layer of wax, where writing was done using a stylus; and A smooth tablet written upon with ink.
