a.shur refers to a person's course of movement, portrayed as firm, guided, or in danger of slipping.

The attested forms occur in contexts concerning a person's movement or course: steps may be held fast, understood, kept from shaking or slipping, or nearly lose footing. The supplied translation does not make the term's particular contribution clear in every occurrence, especially Psalm 40:3 and Psalm 44:19.

   The supplied singular and plural construct forms occur in clauses about movement and stability. In Job 23:11 the APB renders, “My foot has held fast to his steps”; in Proverbs 14:15 it says that the prudent “understands his step”; and in Psalm 17:5, Psalm 37:31, and Psalm 73:2 the verse rendering concerns steps or feet that are kept from shaking, do not slip, or nearly lose footing.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Where the contribution is most visible, the APB presents the relevant clause with “steps,” “step,” or footing and slipping language. Because it is a whole-verse translation, Psalm 40:3 and Psalm 44:19 do not reveal a clear individual English rendering for the term.
