1. white (color adjective) — The adjective 'white,' describing the color of objects such as hair, skin marks (in Levitical disease diagnostics), animals, garments, and stones; uniformly glossed as blanco/blanca/blancos (Spa), सफेद/सफ़ेद (Hin), أَبْيَض/بِيض (Arb), 흰/희게/희색 (Kor), nyeupe/weupe/jeupe (Swa) across all gender-number inflections (ms, fs, mp, fp) and syntactic frames including bare adjective, article-prefixed, and conjunction-prefixed forms. The Arabic masculine أَبْيَض versus plural بِيض and the Swahili class-agreement variants all confirm a single adjectival lexeme with no semantic differentiation across the three clusters. 29×
