1. frankincense (aromatic resin for incense) — The aromatic white resin obtained from Boswellia trees, used in Israelite worship as a component of the sacred incense and grain offerings; uniformly glossed as incienso (Spa), लोबान (Hin), لُبان (Arb), 유향 (Kor), ubani (Swa) across all grammatical frames including absolute, possessive (its-frankincense), and prepositional (with-frankincense). The Arabic lubān and Hebrew lebōnāh share the same Semitic root l-b-n ('white'), referring to the resin's pale color, and all three clusters represent purely morphosyntactic variation of a single botanical-cultic referent. 21×
