krak´nel: Occurs in , where Jeroboam bids his wife go to Abijah to inquire concerning their son: “And take with thee ten loaves and cracknels” (King James Version margins “cakes,” the English Revised Version “cracknels,” the American Standard Revised Version “cakes”). The Hebrew word is נקּדּים, niḳḳuddı̄m, from nāḳadh, “to prick” or “mark”; most probably cakes with holes pricked in them like our biscuits.
