pole, carrying bar; tottering, slipping (abstract noun); yoke (instrument of subjection)
Senses
1. pole, carrying bar — A pole or bar used for carrying, as in the carrying-frame for transporting items (cf. Numbers 13:23, the grape cluster on a pole). English 'carrying-frame' and 'pole,' Spanish 'pertiga/vara' (pole/rod), Hindi 'dande' (डंडे, stick/pole), Arabic 'al-atalah/al-asa' (الْعَتَلَة/الْعَصَا, lever/staff), Korean 'makdae' (막대/막대기, stick/rod), and Swahili 'mti wa kubebea/mti' (carrying-tree/stick). Both clusters S110077 and S110079 share the same concrete sense of a wooden carrying implement. 3×

2. tottering, slipping (abstract noun) — The abstract noun denoting tottering, stumbling, or slipping, used in phrases like 'not be moved' or 'given to slipping.' English 'to slip,' Spanish 'tambaleo' (staggering), Hindi 'dagmagaane' (डगमगाने, to wobble), Arabic 'zalal' (زَّلَل, slipping), Korean 'heundeullim' (흔들림, shaking/swaying), and Swahili 'kuteleza/kutikisika' (to slip/to be shaken). This is semantically distinct from the concrete 'pole/bar' and 'yoke' senses, referring to instability rather than a physical object. 2×

3. yoke (instrument of subjection) — A yoke used as an instrument of subjection or burden, metaphorically referring to oppression or servitude. English 'his yoke,' Spanish 'yugo suyo' (his yoke), Hindi 'uska juua' (उसका जूआ, his yoke), Arabic 'nirahu' (نِيرَهُ, his yoke -- a completely different Arabic root from the 'pole' clusters), Korean 'geu-ui meong-e' (그의 멍에, his yoke), and Swahili 'nira yake' (his yoke). The Arabic distinction between atalah (lever/pole) and nir (yoke) strongly confirms this as a separate lexical sense. 1×
