1. barren (unable to bear children) — The adjective 'aqar describes a person (male or female) who is unable to produce offspring, i.e., infertile or barren. All four clusters represent the same core meaning with only grammatical variation (masculine/feminine, construct, conjunctive waw). Multilingual glosses confirm unity: Spanish consistently uses 'esteril', Hindi 'banjh' (baanjh), Arabic 'aaqir/aaqirah' (with feminine taa-marbuta variation only), Korean 'bullim' (infertility) or 'ingtaehaji mothada' (unable to conceive), and Swahili 'tasa' throughout. The conjunctive forms (S125910, S125912) simply add 'and/or' prefixes without changing the semantic content. 12×
