1. Naked / bare (unclothed state) — The state of being without clothing or covering, ranging from complete nudity to being inadequately or poorly dressed. The two clusters — the main adjectival forms (14x: nominative/accusative masculine singular/plural, feminine singular, neuter plural) and the single genitive neuter substantive (1x: 'the naked body') — both express the same core concept of bodily exposure and vulnerability. Translations converge across languages: Spanish 'desnudo/desnudos/desnudez' (naked/naked-ones/nakedness), Hindi 'नंगा/नग्न/नंगे' (naked/bare/nude), Arabic 'عُريان/عُريه' (naked/his nakedness — same root ʿ-r-y), Korean '벗은/벗은 몸에' (stripped/stripped body), Swahili 'uchi/wazi/mwili uchi' (naked/exposed/naked body). Contexts include literal nakedness (Mark 14:52, John 21:7), figurative spiritual poverty (Rev 3:17), and ethical concern for the unclothed (Matt 25:36, James 2:15). 15×
