1. bed, couch, lying-place — A bed or couch used for sleeping or resting; the place where one lies down. The three clusters differ only in pronominal suffix: 'my bed' (1cs), 'your bed' (2ms), 'his bed' (3ms), all representing the same concrete noun mishkav. Consistently translated across languages: English 'bed,' Spanish 'cama,' Hindi बिछौने (bedding/bed), Arabic فِرَاش (bed/mattress), Korean 침상 (bed/couch), Swahili kitanda (bed). The pronominal variation is purely grammatical inflection, not a semantic distinction. 6×
