    It's a loaf of white leavened bread, typically plaited in form, traditionally baked to celebrate the Jewish sabbath.

      When is צב used, versus צבה?

        If we're talking about a female turtle, and informally (eg common people talking about their pet turtle), it can be צבה. If it's biologists talking, I think they'll usually say "נקבת צב היבשה המצוי" or something.
