Mouse / rat (rodent)
1. Mouse / rat (rodent) The common rodent (mouse or rat), Hebrew עַכְבָּר, appearing in construct, absolute, and suffixed forms. Multilingual evidence uniformly confirms a single zoological referent: English 'mice/mouse,' Spanish 'ratones/ratón,' Hindi चूहे/चूहा, Arabic فِيرَان/الْفَأْر (both meaning 'mouse/rat'), Korean 쥐/쥐들 ('mouse/mice'), Swahili panya ('rat/mouse'). Occurs in Levitical unclean-animal lists (Lev 11:29) and the Philistine plague narrative (1 Sam 6). All three clusters are grammatical variants (construct plural, articular singular, possessive plural) of one and the same noun sense.
