1. bed/couch (piece of furniture for reclining) — A bed, couch, or pallet — a piece of furniture used for sleeping, resting, reclining at meals, or carrying the sick. NT occurrences include the bed of the paralytic (Mark 4:21, 7:30), the sickbed (Rev 2:22), and dining couches (Mark 7:4 variant). Multilingual evidence is consistent: spa 'cama/camilla/lechos' (bed/stretcher/couches), hin 'bistare' (bed), arb 'sarir/asirra' (bed/beds), kor '침대/침상' (chimdae/chimsang, bed/couch), swa 'kitanda/vitanda' (bed/beds, Bantu sg/pl class). The singular (N-GFS, N-AFS) vs plural (N-GFP) split is purely inflectional number with no semantic distinction. 9×
