    Bitul (ביטול) means: cancellation; abolishment. Stress the last syllable ("bi" like bee, "tul" like tool).

    The closest Hebrew translation of "selfless" is לא אנוכי [lo anokhi] which is translated back as "unselfish". Notice that this is the singular masculine form: "(he is) selfless".

    It's pronounced: Bee (as in A B C D) along with tul: so basically its as you wrote it: bitul.

    The translation of bitul is ביטול, and it means cancellation. As it basically means the same in hebrew, you can you it in several dialects, and also as you chose it; its to "cancel" yourself, "cancel" ands overlooking your will for others (usually for the spouse).
