1. dross, impurity of metals — Masculine noun denoting dross or slag, the impure residue separated from metals during smelting, used both literally of metallurgical waste and metaphorically of the wicked or unfaithful people whom God purges from Israel (Isa 1:22,25; Ezek 22:18-19; Ps 119:119; Prov 25:4, 26:23). Multilingual evidence: eng 'dross', spa 'escoria', arb 'زبد/زبالة', kor '찌꺼기', swa 'takataka', hin 'मैल'. The two clusters differ only by pronominal suffix (2fs 'your dross') versus bare/prepositional forms, not in lexical meaning. 9×
