growth, vegetation (of the earth); Branch (messianic title); stalk, shoot (individual plant)
2. Branch (messianic title) — The messianic titular sense of 'the Branch' used as a prophetic designation for the coming Davidic ruler in Jeremiah and Zechariah. Spanish 'Retoño/el Retoño' (capitalized 'Sprout') and Swahili 'Chipukizi' (capitalized) signal the proper-noun quality. Arabic غُصْنَ/غُصْنًا/الغُصْنِ ('branch') and Korean 싹 ('sprout/shoot') are used in these messianic contexts. Hindi अंकुर/शाखा ('sprout/branch') and the construct forms 'branch of' (referring to David or righteousness) distinguish this as a theological title rather than mere vegetation vocabulary. 5×

1. growth, vegetation (of the earth) — The natural growth or vegetation that springs from the earth — plants, crops, what the ground produces. Arabic نَبْتِهَا/نَباتُها/نَبَاتِ/نَبْتَ ('its growth/vegetation/plant') consistently uses the root n-b-t for natural growing things. Spanish 'brote/planta' ('sprout/plant') and Korean 새순/식물 ('new shoot/plant'). Hindi अंकुरित/उपज/पौधा/उगज ('sprouted/yield/plant/growth') and Swahili machipukizi/mimea/mmea ('sprouts/plants/plant'). Covers possessive forms ('its growth,' 'her growth') and similes ('as growth of'). This is botanical vocabulary for what grows from soil, distinct from the messianic title. 6×

3. stalk, shoot (individual plant) — A specific sense of an individual plant stalk or shoot, as in the grain stalk of Hosea 8:7 that has no standing grain. Arabic غَلَّةٌ ('grain/crop yield') and Spanish 'grano' ('grain') point to a specific agricultural referent — a single stalk or shoot bearing (or failing to bear) grain. Korean 싹 ('sprout') and Hindi अंकुर ('sprout') overlap lexically with other senses, but the context of a grain stalk that produces no flour distinguishes this as an individual plant part rather than collective growth or messianic metaphor. Swahili kichipukizi (diminutive 'small sprout'). 1×
