1. graft in — To graft a branch into a tree, used exclusively in Paul's olive tree allegory in Romans 11:17-24 for the incorporation of Gentile believers into the covenant people of God. All 6 NT occurrences appear in this single sustained metaphor: being grafted in among the branches (Rom 11:17), grafted into the rich root (11:17), grafted in to replace broken branches (11:19), God's power to graft back the natural branches (11:23), and the argument from lesser to greater about regrafting (11:24). Cross-linguistic evidence is perfectly uniform across all clusters: Arb tu'ima (graft/inoculate), Heb hurkavta/yurkavu/leharkiv (Hiphil/Hophal of rkb, to graft), Kor jeopbutyeojida/jeopbuisigi (to be grafted/to graft), Spa injertado/injertar (grafted/to graft), Deu einpfropfen (to graft in), Fra greffer (to graft), Hin kalam-lagaana (to graft). The four auto-clusters split solely on morphological voice and tense (aorist passive, future passive, aorist subjunctive passive, aorist active infinitive) with zero semantic variation. 6×
