Senses
1. gazelle (animal) — All seven clusters refer to the same animal, the gazelle (Gazella), in various grammatical forms — similes (like a gazelle), definite (the gazelle), plural (gazelles), and with prepositions. Arabic الظَّبْيِ/ظَبْيٍ/الظِّبَاءِ/الغَزَالِ all mean 'gazelle' across every occurrence. Korean 노루 ('roe deer/gazelle') and Spanish 'gacela/gacelas' are consistent throughout. Hindi हिरण/हिरन/चिकारा/चिकारे (all variants of 'gazelle/deer') and Swahili paa/swala ('gazelle') confirm a single referent. No metaphorical or extended meanings are present — these are all literal references to the gazelle animal in dietary laws, similes, and lists of game animals. 14×
