1. row, course, tier — The masculine noun טוּר denotes a row, course, or tier — an ordered horizontal line of objects arranged side by side, used especially of rows of stones in priestly breastplate settings (Exod 28:17-20, 39:10-13), rows of cedar pillars in Solomon's buildings (1 Kgs 7:2-4, 7:12), and rows of showbread loaves (1 Chr 9:32, possibly). All three sense clusters are purely grammatical variants: S100195 is the construct/absolute plural (טוּרֵי / טוּרִים 'rows of / rows,' 12x), S100196 adds the conjunction or article to the singular (וְהַטּוּר / וְטוּר 'and the row / and row of,' 9x), and S100198 is the singular construct/articled form (טוּר / הַטּוּר 'row / the row,' 5x). Multilingual translations are fully consistent: Arabic صُفُوفٍ/الصَّفُّ (rows/the row), Spanish hileras/hilera/fila (rows/row), Hindi पंक्तियाँ/पंक्ति (rows/row), Korean 줄들/줄 (rows/row), Swahili safu (row/line). No semantic distinction exists between the clusters. 26×
