Galilee (region)

Senses
1. Galilee (region) The proper geographical name for the northern region of Israel, known as Galilee (Hebrew גָּלִיל). All three sense clusters represent identical referents differing only in prepositional and article prefixes: 'in the Galilee' (eng in-the-Galilee, spa en-Galilea, arb فِي الْجَلِيلِ, kor 갈릴리에서, swa katika Galilaya), 'the Galilee' as direct object or genitive (eng the-Galilah, spa la-Galilea, hin गलील-के, arb الـجَلِيلِ), and the bare construct form 'Galilee of' (eng Galilee-of, spa Galil-de, hin गलील, kor 갈릴리, swa Galilaya). These are purely grammatical inflections of a single proper noun.
