Senses
1. sea, large body of water — A large body of water, whether a specific named sea (the Sea of Galilee, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean) or the sea in general as a cosmic or geographical entity. All 91 NT occurrences share this single core meaning; the two clusters differ only in grammatical case, with S68964 being genitive constructions ('of the sea'). Multilingual evidence is uniform: spa 'mar / del mar', hin 'samudra / samudra ki', arb 'al-bahr', kor 'bada / bada-ui', swa 'bahari / ya bahari'. The genitive uses describe things belonging to or located in the sea (creatures of the sea, sand of the sea) but denote the same referent. 91×
