mo.va denotes an entry or approach, whether in a person's movements or in a building's design.

The attested uses describe an entry or approach: in 2 Samuel 3:25 within the paired movements of going out and coming in, and in Ezekiel 43:11 among the specified features of a house's design.

Senses in use

  1. Entry or approach in movement and design · dominant

    In 2 Samuel 3:25, the singular construct form occurs in the clause about learning a person's “going out and ... coming in”; the APB renders the verse with those paired movements. In Ezekiel 43:11, the plural construct form appears among the house's design features, and the APB includes “its exits and its entrances.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through “coming in” in 2 Samuel 3:25 and “entrances” in Ezekiel 43:11. These renderings indicate the clauses' presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
