- This entry carries no independent "Unwilling" sense of its own distinct from the moral-degeneration sense already illustrated; Jeremiah 2:21's genuine occurrence describes degeneration, and the domain is bundle-shared with that sense.
- Names of Constructions003001003
- This entry carries no independent construction-name sense of its own; every tagged occurrence is the verb or adjective for turning back or becoming degenerate, as in “How then have you turned yourself before Me into the degenerate shoots of a foreign vine” (Jeremiah 2:21).
