1. shame, disgrace, dishonor — The noun qalon denotes shame, disgrace, or dishonor, used in prophetic denunciations and wisdom literature to describe the moral-social consequence of wickedness or divine judgment. All four clusters represent the same concept with grammatical variation only: absolute and conjunctive forms (qalon 'shame,' we-qalon 'and shame'), possessive suffix (qelonekh 'your shame'), construct form (qalon-X 'shame of'), and prepositional (be-qalon 'for shame'). Multilingual glosses are strikingly uniform: Arabic 'ar (عار 'disgrace/shame'), Spanish 'verguenza' (shame) and 'deshonra' (dishonor), Korean suchi (수치 'shame') and bukkeureoum (부끄러움 'shame'), Swahili aibu (shame), Hindi apmaan (अपमान 'insult/dishonor') and lajja (लज्जा 'shame'). No metaphorical vs. literal distinction applies here; the abstract concept is consistent throughout. 17×
