1. thread, cord, line — A thread, cord, or string -- a thin, elongated fiber used for binding, measuring, or marking. Used literally of Rahab's scarlet thread/cord (Josh 2:18), of something as insignificant as a sandal strap (Gen 14:23), and figuratively/comparatively of a woman's lips like a scarlet thread (Song 4:3) and the threefold cord not quickly broken (Eccl 4:12). Translated as English 'thread/cord/line,' Spanish 'hilo/cordon,' Hindi 'dhaga/dori' (धागा/डोरी), Arabic 'khayt/hut' (خَيْطٍ/حُوط), Korean 'sil/jul/kkeun' (실/줄/끈), Swahili 'uzi/kamba.' All three clusters represent the same noun in different prepositional and morphological frames: with conjunction waw, with preposition min, and with preposition ke for simile constructions. 7×
