foundation, base structure
1. foundation, base structure A foundation or base upon which a structure is built, used both literally of building foundations and figuratively of foundational truths or persons (Christ as the foundation, the apostles and prophets as the foundation of the church). The two clusters differ only in number: singular 'foundation' (12x) vs plural 'foundations' (4x). Multilingual evidence is uniform: spa 'fundamento/cimiento / fundamentos/cimientos', hin 'ninv / ninven', arb 'asas / asasat/usus', kor 'gicho / gicho-deul', swa 'msingi / misingi'. The plural uses refer to multiple foundation stones (Rev 21:14, 19) but the core meaning is identical to the singular. 16×
