## In Jewish tradition

In Sefer Yetzirah it is the "milt" of the body, which is one of the twelve organs of a person.

**Interpretation.** The book links each organ to a letter, a month and a sign of the zodiac. The spleen is tied to laughter, to the letter Qoph, and to the month of Adar.

### Meaning
