Why do we say תיקו Teiku when there is no answer in the Gemara?
Answer
It is said to stand for תשבי יתרץ קושיות ובעיות that is תשבי who is Eliyahu Hanavi will answer the questions. This was established in Parshas Pinchas as when Zimri brought Kozbi to Moshe in front of Beis din and a large portion of Klal Yisroel and asked him is she Muttar to me? Moshe said no.He answered back how is your wife also a daughter of Yisro also a gentile allowed to you (The Ibn Ezra says this is actually the reason Moshe's children never became Kohanim?!)? Moshe had nothing to answer neither did the Beis Din or any of Klal Yisroel it was the first תיקו. One person had the answer it was Pinchas who is Eliyahu therfore we say תיקו which is an acronym for תשבי יתרץ קושיות ובעיות cause Pinchas who is Eliyahu the תשבי is the one who had the answer.'Ha'Bo'el es Ha'Kutis, Kana'in Pog'in Bo'
