κλάδος kládos · G2798 · branch (of a tree or woody shrub): Greek κλάδος (kládos, G2798) is the standard LXX rendering of Hebrew דָּלִיָּה (dâlîyâh, H1808), both denoting a branch or bough of a tree; the Greek gloss's parenthetical "as if broken off" reflects etymology rather than a semantic restriction, as both terms function equivalently for tree branches in their respective corpora.
κλῆμα klēma · G2814 · branch (principally of grapevines): Greek κλῆμα specifically denotes a vine branch or shoot (typically broken/cut off), directly translating Hebrew דָּלִיָּה in its botanical sense of a branch or tendril.
