1. fellowship, communion, sharing — Participation in a shared relationship or joint partnership, encompassing spiritual communion among believers, sharing in Christ's body and blood, and the practical expression of that unity through generous contribution and mutual participation. All three clusters represent the same noun koinonia in different grammatical cases (accusative, nominative, genitive, dative) without genuine semantic divergence. Multilingual evidence confirms unity: eng 'fellowship / sharing,' spa 'comunion / contribucion,' hin sahbhaagitaa / sangati throughout, arb sharikah / mushaarakah, kor gyoje / nanum, swa ushirika / kushiriki. The 'sharing' nuance (S70890, 1x) is contextual emphasis rather than a distinct lexical sense. 19×
