heart, inner self (mind/will/emotion); heart, center/midst (spatial)
2. heart, center/midst (spatial) — The physical interior or central core of a non-personal entity such as the sea, the heavens, or a tree; a spatial/locative extension of the heart metaphor distinct from the anthropological inner-self sense. Diagnosed by Korean 중심 ('center') and 가운데 ('middle/midst') rather than the usual 마음 ('mind'), and Hindi बीच ('middle/midst') rather than हृदय ('heart'), while Arabic retains قَلْب in both senses. 21×

1. heart, inner self (mind/will/emotion) — The inner person as the seat of thought, understanding, volition, emotion, conscience, and moral character; the comprehensive Hebrew anthropological term for the core of human consciousness and intentionality, encompassing what English splits into mind, will, feelings, and conscience. Universally glossed as corazón (Spa), हृदय/दिल/मन (Hin), قَلْب/قُلُوب (Arb), 마음 (Kor), moyo/mioyo (Swa) across all inflections, possessive suffixes, and prepositional frames. Includes the cognitive sub-use 'understanding/sense' (Swa akili, Spa entendimiento) which shares the same Arabic قَلْب and Korean 마음, confirming a single polysemous range rather than a separate lexical sense. 572×
