1. swift, fast, light-footed — An adjective describing speed or lightness of movement, applied to persons, animals, or abstract agents. All seven clusters are grammatical inflections (masculine singular, feminine singular, masculine plural, with prepositions) of the same semantic content. Multilingual glosses are strikingly consistent: Spanish 'ligera/veloz/ligero/pronto,' Arabic 'سِرَاعًا/سَرِيعَةٍ/خَفِيفٌ/سَريعًا' (swift/light), Hindi 'तेज़/तेज/हल्का/फुर्तीले/तेज़ी से' (fast/light/nimble/swiftly), Korean '빠른/가벼운/빨리' (fast/light/quickly), and Swahili 'mwepesi/wepesi/haraka/kwa upesi' (swift/nimble/quickly). No cluster introduces a genuinely distinct meaning; all express the quality of swiftness or lightness. 13×
