GOI, or GOIIM. By this word the Gentiles are signified. See above GENTILES. The Jews are used, when they talk with one another, to call Christians Goï or Goiim, and Christian women Goia or Goiath; a name which they give in general to all those, who are uncircumcised. Christianity they term Goiuth or Gentilism, and do not distinguish Christians from Gentiles and Idolaters.
