1. made by hands / handmade — Adjective describing something manufactured or constructed by human hands, as opposed to divine or spiritual creation. All three clusters represent the same compound adjective cheiropoietos in different grammatical forms (genitive feminine singular, accusative neuter plural, accusative masculine singular, dative masculine plural). Multilingual evidence is uniform across all clusters: English 'made-by-hands / hand-made / made-with-hands', Spanish 'hecho-de-mano / hecho-a-mano / hechas-a-mano', Hindi हाथ-से-बना / हाथों-से-बने, Arabic مَصْنوعَةٍ-بِأَيْدٍ, Korean 손으로-만든, Swahili iliyofanywa-kwa-mikono / vilivyofanywa-kwa-mikono. The slight variation in preposition ('by/with/of') is translational, not semantic. Used in contexts contrasting human-made temples or circumcision with their spiritual counterparts (Mark 14:58, Acts 7:48, Heb 9:11, 9:24, Eph 2:11). 6×
