Semantic domains 2 entries

Stance002001001061: This domain is not independently illustrated by the sampled citations, which all concern the winking or forming senses rather than bodily posture.
Shape002001001052: The word's "form" sense is directly illustrated by Job's declaration that he too was "formed out of the clay" (Job 33:6); its more common "wink" sense is illustrated by enemies who "wink maliciously" (Psalm 35:19) and the fool who winks his eyes to devise perverse things (Proverbs 6:13, 10:10, 16:30).
