ta.a.nug denotes luxury or delights, including possessions, household comfort, and praise of bodily attractiveness.

The attested use chiefly concerns luxury or delights as prized comforts and possessions: it qualifies human pleasures, children, and a house, and stands as the subject of a proverb about what is fitting. A separate poetic occurrence uses the plural in praise of bodily attractiveness, though the translation does not isolate its contribution.

1. Luxury and prized comforts · dominant

   In Ecclesiastes 2:8, the masculine plural construct form occurs in a list of gathered wealth, singers, and human pleasures; the APB renders the clause "the pleasures of the sons of man—concubines." In Micah 1:16 and Micah 2:9, plural construct forms qualify "sons" and "house" in scenes of loss and expulsion, while Proverbs 19:10 uses the singular absolute form as the subject of "Luxury is not fitting for a fool."

2. Poetic delight in bodily beauty · occasional

   In Song of Songs 7:7, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in a poetic comparison of stature to a palm tree and breasts to clusters. The APB renders the surrounding verse, "Your stature resembles a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters," but does not make the term's specific English contribution clear.

   Song of Songs 7:7

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses "pleasures" in Ecclesiastes 2:8 and "Luxury" in Proverbs 19:10, while its Micah clauses use "luxuries." In Song of Songs 7:7, the translation gives the poetic comparison without an identifiable corresponding English word.
