1. sense 1 — In the suffering psalm 22:15, the speaker's 'tongue clings to my jaws,' an image of parched mouth and death's approach. Translations vary: English 'jaws,' Spanish 'paladar' (palate), French 'butin' (plunder—likely misreading), German 'jaws.' The dual form in Hebrew indicates both sides of the mouth, and the context of thirst and dying suggests gums or jaw structure where the dried tongue sticks. 1×
