Senses in use

  1. Spittle in contextual comparisons · dominant

    Both occurrences are common masculine singular construct nouns. In 1 Samuel 21:14 the APB renders a scene in which Achish calls a man "acting mad," while in Job 6:6 it renders a question about tasteless food, salt, and "the white of an egg"; the translation does not isolate the noun's own contribution in either clause.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB does not visibly render the noun with a separate English equivalent in either verse. It presents the surrounding contexts as apparent madness in 1 Samuel 21:14 and a food-and-taste comparison in Job 6:6.
