Language

pum denotes a mouth, seen as the place containing food or speaking imposing words.

The attested uses show a mouth as a physical opening that can contain ribs and as the speaking feature of visionary horns; several construct-form occurrences have no recoverable specific contribution from the supplied translation.

Senses in use

  1. Mouth in visionary description · dominant

    In Daniel 7:20 and Daniel 7:8, the absolute noun occurs in the clause describing a horn with eyes and a mouth speaking great things. In Daniel 7:5, the construct form is in the description of a bear-like beast with three ribs in its mouth between its teeth.

  2. Construct-form occurrences with unclear clause contribution · common

    The construct singular form occurs in Daniel 4:28, Daniel 6:18, and Daniel 6:23, but the supplied APB renderings do not isolate its contribution within those verses. The verses respectively report what came upon the king, the king's night of fasting, and Daniel's removal from the den without harm.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “mouth” in Daniel 7:20, Daniel 7:5, and Daniel 7:8. In Daniel 4:28, Daniel 6:18, and Daniel 6:23, its translation does not visibly isolate the term's contribution.
