This noun appears only once in Genesis 40:10 in Pharaoh's cupbearer's dream, where the vine 'was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth.' The word captures the moment when flowers emerge on a grapevine, that brief stage between budding and fruit formation. The Hebrew preserves a feminine suffix ('its blossom'), personalizing the vine's fertility. This botanical precision in dream imagery would have been significant for interpreting agricultural omens in ancient Egypt.
