Spelt. Triticum spelta. כסמתkussemeṯ - Strongs: H3698.

From ISBE: Spelt - spelt (kuccemeth; olura, zea (Exodus 9:32, the King James Version "rye"; Isa 18:25, the King James Version "rye," margin "spelt"; Ezekiel 4:9, the King James Version "fitches" margin "spelt"; the Revised Version (British and American) adopts "spelt," influenced by the Septuagint, in all passages)): Spelt is the seed of Triticum spelta, a kind of wild wheat.
