answer, response, reply; purpose, intent
1. answer, response, reply — A verbal response or reply given in conversation or discourse, whether absolute ('an answer') or in construct ('answer-of'). All grammatical inflections (absolute, construct, with preposition b- 'in') represent the same core meaning. Attested as: English 'answer/response/in-an-answer-of', Spanish 'respuesta/en-respuesta-de', Hindi 'uttar (उत्तर)', Arabic 'jawab (جَوابٌ)', Korean 'daedap (대답)/eungdap (응답)', Swahili 'jibu/katika-jibu-la'. The Hifil participle form in S113166 reflects its verbal derivation but the noun sense is identical. 7×

2. purpose, intent — An extended or specialized sense of ma'aneh denoting purpose or intent, distinct from the basic 'answer/reply' meaning. Attested only once with the preposition l- and 3ms suffix: English 'for-his-purpose', Spanish 'para-proposito-suyo', Hindi 'udyeshya-ke-liye (उद्देश्य–के–लिए)', Arabic 'li-gharadihi (لِغَرَضِهِ)', Korean 'mokjeok-daero (목적–대로)', Swahili 'kwa-kusudi-lake'. The semantic shift from 'response' to 'purpose/aim' likely reflects the idea of an intended or appointed end. 1×
