Odous denotes teeth, most often in scenes of gnashing, and also in a stated reciprocal penalty and a lion comparison.

The attested uses chiefly place teeth in clauses about gnashing amid weeping, expulsion, outer darkness, or punishment; other verses mention teeth in a reciprocal saying, describe grinding during violent seizure, and compare teeth with those of lions.

1. Teeth in gnashing scenes · dominant

   The plural genitive form occurs in the repeated clause about "weeping and gnashing of teeth": in Matthew 13:42 the APB renders this after people are thrown into a furnace of fire, and in Matthew 22:13 after a man is cast into outer darkness. Luke 13:28 similarly places the clause with exclusion outside, while Acts 7:54 uses the accusative plural in the action "gnashed their teeth at him."

2. Teeth in physical description or comparison · occasional

   In Mark 9:18 the accusative plural stands in a sequence describing violent seizure, foaming at the mouth, grinding teeth, and rigidity. In Revelation 9:8 the nominative plural appears in a comparison: the APB renders their teeth as "like the teeth of lions."

   Mark 9:18Revelation 9:8
3. Teeth in a reciprocal formula · rare

   In Matthew 5:38, the supplied singular accusative form occurs twice in the saying paired with eye: the APB renders the clause "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."

   Matthew 5:38

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the plural in the fixed wording "gnashing of teeth," but Acts 7:54 says "gnashed their teeth" and Mark 9:18 says "grinds his teeth." Elsewhere it renders the reciprocal phrase "a tooth for a tooth" and the comparison "teeth of lions"; these are verse-level renderings, not definitions.
