1. ewe lamb (female sheep) — A feminine noun denoting a female lamb or young ewe, the feminine counterpart of 'keves' (lamb). Appears in legal/sacrificial contexts (Gen 21:28-30 — Abraham's seven ewe lambs at Beersheba) and in Nathan's parable of the poor man's single ewe lamb (2 Sam 12:3). All inflectional forms — singular (kivsah), plural (kevasot), singular with article (ha-kivsah), construct (kivsat), and with conjunction (ve-kivsah) — represent the same lexical meaning. Multilingual evidence is consistent: eng 'ewe lamb(s)', spa 'cordera(s)/corderita' (little ewe), hin 'bhedi/bhed-bachche' (भेड़ी/भेड़-बच्चे, female sheep/lambs), arb 'na'jah/ni'aaj' (نَعجَة/النِّعَاجِ, ewe/ewes), kor 'am-yang' (암양, female sheep), swa 'mwana-kondoo(-jike)' (young sheep/female). 8×
