naked, unclothed (adjective); nakedness (abstract/substantive use)
1. naked, unclothed (adjective) — The adjective eirom meaning 'naked, unclothed,' describing a state of being without clothing. Three clusters (S123841, S123842, S123843) represent the same adjectival sense with only inflectional and syntactic variation: masculine singular, masculine plural, and with conjunctive waw. The multilingual glosses are unanimous: English 'naked,' Spanish 'desnudo/desnuda/desnudos,' Hindi nanga/nangi/nange (naked in various genders/numbers), Arabic uryanan/uryanatun (naked), Korean beolgeobeos-eun (stripped/bare), Swahili uchi (naked). S123843 adds 'and naked' with the conjunction but the meaning is identical. All describe the concrete physical state of being unclothed. 9×

2. nakedness (abstract/substantive use) — A substantive or abstract use of eirom meaning 'nakedness' as a condition or state, used with the preposition be- to indicate 'in nakedness.' The multilingual evidence shows an abstract/condition reading: English 'and in nakedness,' Spanish 'y en desnudez' (and in nakedness — note the abstract noun desnudez rather than the adjective desnudo), Hindi aur nangepan men (and in nakedness — the abstract nangepan rather than nanga), Arabic wa-bi-uryin (and with nakedness — using the noun uriy rather than the adjective uryanan), Korean geurigo beosum-euro (and by being stripped). This prepositional-abstract usage represents a genuinely different sense from the simple adjectival predication. 1×
