failing, longing with desire
This rare adjective describes eyes that fail or grow weak with longing. In Deuteronomy 28:32, it appears in one of the covenant curses, where Moses warns that the people's eyes will look on helplessly and fail with longing as their children are given to other peoples. The word captures both the physical exhaustion of eyes strained with watching and the emotional anguish of unfulfilled desire. It derives from the root kalah, 'to complete, come to an end,' suggesting eyes that are spent or consumed with yearning.
