1. corner / angle — A corner or angle of a structure, street, or area, encompassing both the architectural 'cornerstone' usage (head of the corner, referring to Christ as the rejected cornerstone) and the spatial 'corners of streets' or 'hidden corner' usage. All three clusters differ only in grammatical case and number (genitive singular, dative/accusative plural, dative singular). Spanish uses 'esquina/esquinas/rincón' (corner/corners/nook); Hindi uses 'कोने/कोनों' (kone/konon, corner/corners); Arabic uses 'زاوية/زوايا' (zawiya/zawaya, corner/corners); Korean uses '모퉁이/모통이' (motungi, corner); Swahili uses 'pembe/pembeni/kona' (corner). The underlying spatial meaning is consistent throughout. 9×
