1. fear, dread, reverence — The emotion of fear, whether directed toward danger (dread, terror) or toward God (reverential awe). All 47 occurrences across singular cases (N-GMS, N-AMS, N-NMS, N-DMS) and plural (N-NMP) converge on a single lexical concept: spa 'temor/miedo/temores', hin 'bhay/dar' (fear/dread), arb 'khawf/makhawif' (fear/fears), kor 'duryeoum/duryeoumdeul' (fear/fears), swa 'hofu' (fear). The prepositional usage 'with fear' (S78670) and the plural 'fears' (S78673) are grammatical variations, not distinct senses. Context determines whether the referent is human dread or divine reverence, but the word itself denotes a single emotional state. 47×
