1. old (adjective, of things/produce) — An adjective meaning 'old, aged, of long standing', used to describe stored produce, old grain, or things from the past (Lev 25:22, 26:10; Song 7:14; Neh 3:6). All inflectional forms — masculine singular, feminine singular with article, masculine plural, and with conjunction — represent the same adjectival sense. Multilingual evidence is consistent across all occurrences: eng 'old', spa 'viejo/anejas' (old/aged), hin 'purana/purani' (पुरानी/पुराना, old), arb 'qadiiman/al-qadiim' (قَدِيمًا/الْقَدِيمِ, ancient/old), kor 'nalkeun/oraedoen' (낡은/오래된, old/aged), swa 'ya zamani' (of old times). The variation is purely grammatical (gender/number agreement), not semantic. 7×
