Language

ma.og denotes a bun or food item, explicitly one available for eating and less clearly used in a feast setting.

The attested use points to a bun or food item: 1 Kings 17:12 places it among flour and oil for a final meal, while Psalm 35:16 uses the same singular noun in a context the APB presents as a feast, without isolating the term’s exact contribution.

Senses in use

  1. A bun or food item · dominant

    In 1 Kings 17:12, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the woman’s statement that she has no bun, apart from flour and oil to prepare food for herself and her son; the APB renders the clause “there is no bun for me.” In Psalm 35:16, the same form occurs in a setting the APB renders “With profane mockers at a feast,” but the translation does not identify which English expression corresponds to the noun.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly has “bun” in 1 Kings 17:12. In Psalm 35:16 it presents the wider setting as “at a feast”; That wording cannot securely be assigned to the noun itself.
