libation
ne.sikh denotes a libation or drink offering, explicitly set within sacrificial drinking in Deuteronomy 32:38.
The clearest attested use places the singular construct form in sacrificial drinking: Deuteronomy 32:38 speaks of drinking wine belonging to drink offerings. Daniel 11:8 has the plural construct form within a list of items carried into captivity, though the translation does not isolate its contribution there.

In Deuteronomy 32:38, the singular construct form occurs in the clause about drinking wine of drink offerings; the APB renders the clause "drink the wine of their drink offerings." Daniel 11:8 has the plural construct form in a list carried into captivity, but the APB's "precious articles" does not make the term's specific contribution certain.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Deuteronomy 32:38 the APB includes "drink offerings" in the sacrificial clause. In Daniel 11:8 it renders the list with "precious articles," and does not identify the lemma's exact English counterpart.
