Semantic domains 5 entries
- Plants001002007001
- The noun for a bush, plant, or shrub, used of the shrubs and plants not yet sprouted before the LORD sent rain (Genesis 2:5), the bush under which Hagar left the dying boy (Genesis 21:15), and the desert bushes among which Job's outcast companions foraged and cried out (Job 30:4, 30:7).
- Grieve002001002013
- This domain is not directly shown by this entry's own citations (which describe literal vegetation, not sorrow); it reflects the shared record with the homographic sense "complaint, meditation" (שִׂיחַ (sîyach, H7879)), where the sense of grief actually applies, though Job 30:7's outcasts crying out among the bushes brings the two senses into loose proximity.
- Complain002004001009002
- This lexeme's genuine tagged occurrences (Genesis 2:5, "no shrub of the field was yet on the earth"; Genesis 21:15, "she left the boy under one of the bushes"; Job 30:4, 30:7) illustrate the noun "bush, plant, shrub," not a complaining or speech sense; this Complain domain code is bundle-shared from the cognate root shared with שִׂיחַ (sîyach, H7879) ("complaint, musing, talk") and carries no tagged occurrence of שִׂיחַ (sîyach, H7880) independently attesting a complaint sense of its own.
- Speak002004001009008
- This domain is not shown by this entry's own citations; it reflects the shared record with שִׂיחַ (sîyach, H7879), where the speech sense actually applies, though Job 30:7's outcasts who "cry out" among the bushes brings the two senses into loose proximity.
- Think002004002013
- This lexeme's genuine tagged occurrences illustrate the botanical noun "bush, plant, shrub" (Genesis 2:5; Job 30:4, 30:7), not a thinking or reflective sense; this Think domain code is bundle-shared from the cognate root shared with שִׂיחַ (sîyach, H7879) ("complaint, musing, talk") and carries no tagged occurrence of שִׂיחַ (sîyach, H7880) independently attesting a thought sense of its own.
