Semantic domains 2 entries
Impact002001001024
This entry carries no independent "Impact" sense of its own; its two tagged occurrences (2 Kings 4:35, the boy's sneezing; Isaiah 1:6, the wounds "not pressed out") reflect a physical-pressure/expulsion sense rather than a forceful impact. The domain is bundle-shared with a broader impact-related cluster.
Blow002002001002
זוֹרֵר occurs in the sense of a forceful expelling or blowing, illustrated at 2 Kings 4:35 (the revived boy "sneezed" — a violent expulsion of breath) and, in a related though disputed occurrence, Isaiah 1:6 (wounds "not pressed out").
