fever (bodily illness with elevated temperature)
1. fever (bodily illness with elevated temperature) — A medical condition characterized by abnormally high body temperature, appearing in the Gospel healing narratives (Peter's mother-in-law, the official's son) and in Acts (Publius's father on Malta). Every target language renders a single, unambiguous medical term: Spanish 'fiebre/fiebres' (fever/fevers), Arabic 'ḥummā' (fever — identical form in both clusters), Korean '열/열병' (heat/fever-disease), Swahili 'homa' (fever — invariant for number), Hindi 'बुखार/बुखारों' (fever/fevers). The two clusters split only on grammatical number (singular dative/nominative vs plural dative) with no change in medical or semantic referent. 6×
