How to smell in Hebrew?

 How to smell in Hebrew

My main language is  Hebrew, and all my Corpus is in Hebrew also. and Hebrew is very difficult language becuse hebrew have many word fotmating for one word, for example, there is Cow in feminine plural and masculine plura withe diffrent grammar, and becuse all of this I undrastnad thta it will be very importama that i will build the first "smell lexicon" in Hebrew, I still build it but here is first image from my smell lexicon:

If you looking for example the word: Onion, you can find it in all the formating in Hebrew.
And, Yes I build it by myself - the words I took from old books, and by code I make the new frormating for the words.

M.des final project:

Local Nose

Every time I smell beans with rice I remember my grandparents’ home. The smell transports me to the world as it used to be, with grandma feeding me beans with rice. Scent serves as a vital piece in the historical jigsaw puzzle: It carries great knowledge and acts as a key to hidden knowledge kept in the recesses of our memory.  My project presents porcelain smelling vases that contain smells from my hometown Jaffa. Evocative of amphorae and urns that were found in archeological excavations in Jaffa, they form a proposal for a future database of the city's smells. Each vase has an internal “smelling organ” and a special stand for the item. Please smell from the top of the vase.
