Language

shaq denotes the legs in the statue description of Daniel 2:33.

The attested use identifies the legs of the described figure, distinguished in Daniel 2:33 from its feet.

Senses in use

  1. Legs of the described figure · dominant

    In Daniel 2:33, the construct plural form occurs in the description of the figure's body; the APB renders the clause, “Its legs were of iron,” before describing its feet separately.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 2:33, the APB presents the term within “Its legs were of iron.” This reflects the clause's presentation rather than a standalone lexical rendering.
