flower, blossom (botanical); plate, rosette (of gold, priestly headpiece)
2. plate, rosette (of gold, priestly headpiece) — A distinct sense referring to the gold plate or rosette attached to the high priest's turban, inscribed 'Holy to the LORD.' Arabic صَفِيحَةَ/صَفيحَةً ('a plate/sheet of metal') clearly distinguishes this from the botanical meaning. Spanish 'placa de/lámina de/diadema de' ('plate of/sheet of/diadem of') and Korean 판 ('plate/board') confirm the manufactured metal object. Hindi पत्ती/टीका/पट्टी ('leaf-shaped ornament/mark/band') and Swahili bamba ('plate/flat piece'). This priestly vestment term is etymologically related to 'blossom' but lexicographically a separate sense referring to a crafted golden object. 3×
