1. arrow, arrows — A projectile weapon shot from a bow, used both in literal warfare contexts (1 Sam 20, 2 Kgs 13) and as a metaphor for divine judgment or affliction (Ps 38:2, Job 6:4). Uniformly translated: Spanish 'flecha(s),' Arabic سهم/سهام (sahm/siham), Korean 화살(들) (hwasal), Hindi तीर (tir), Swahili 'mshale/mishale.' The three clusters simply reflect morphological number (singular vs. plural) and prepositional framing ('with the arrows') — all denoting the same concrete weapon without semantic distinction. 13×
