Ribs held between teeth · dominant
In Daniel 7:5, the feminine plural absolute form occurs in the clause describing three such objects in the beast's mouth, between its teeth; the APB renders the clause "three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 7:5, the APB presents the term within the phrase "three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth." This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
