Senses in use

  1. Shattered condition of a fig tree · dominant

    In Joel 1:7, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause about the fig tree after it is stripped bare and thrown away; the APB renders the verse, "my fig tree splinters," within a scene of desolation and whitening branches.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Joel 1:7, the APB presents the clause as "my fig tree splinters." That wording confirms the verse's image but does not isolate the noun's exact English equivalent.
