Senses
1. fast, fasting (noun) — All seven clusters represent the same noun צוֹם meaning 'a fast' or 'fasting' in various grammatical constructions — absolute, construct, with prepositions, with possessive suffixes, and plural. Arabic صَوْم/الصَّوْم/الأَصْوَام ('fast/the fast/the fasts') is consistent throughout. Korean 금식 ('fasting') appears in every occurrence. Spanish 'ayuno/ayunos' ('fast/fasts') and Hindi उपवास ('fasting') are uniform across all forms. Swahili saumu/kufunga ('fast/to fast') likewise shows no semantic variation. These are purely grammatical variants (with fasting, from fasting, your fasting, the fasts) of a single lexical meaning: the religious practice of abstaining from food. 26×
