Senses
1. haste, speed, quickness — A noun denoting rapidity or swiftness, typically in the dative phrase 'en tachei' meaning 'with speed, quickly, soon.' All eight occurrences appear in the same grammatical form (N-DNS) with virtually identical translations across languages: Spanish 'rapidez/pronto/prontitud,' Hindi 'jaldi/shighrata,' Arabic 'surʿa' (identical in both clusters), Korean 'ppalli/sokhi,' Swahili 'haraka/upesi.' The two original clusters show no semantic differentiation whatsoever—the English glosses 'haste' vs 'quickness/speed' are synonymous renderings of the same lexical sense, confirmed by the identical translations in Arabic, Korean, and Swahili. 8×
