Senses
1. engrave (Piel/Pual) — To engrave or incise decorative or inscriptional designs onto stone, metal, or wood, used exclusively in the Piel and Pual stems (distinguished from patach I 'open'). Appears for engraving the names of Israel's tribes on the priestly breastplate stones (Exod 28:9,11,36), for the Pual passive 'engraved' describing the finished onyx stones (Exod 39:6), for God's declaration of engraving the messianic stone (Zech 3:9), for Solomon's and Huram's carved work in the temple (1 Kgs 7:36; 2 Chr 2:7,14; 3:7), and in Piel infinitive for the craftsman's ability to engrave. Arabic naqasha (engrave), German gravieren (engrave), Spanish grabar (engrave), Hindi khodna (to carve/dig), Korean saegida (to inscribe/carve). All auto-clusters are inflectional variants of the same engraving sense across Piel imperfect, perfect, infinitive, participle, and Pual participle forms. 9×
