horn (apocalyptic symbol of power); horn (musical instrument)
Senses
1. horn (apocalyptic symbol of power) — Horn as a symbol of royal or political power in Daniel's apocalyptic visions (Dan 7:7-24). The horns on the fourth beast represent kings and kingdoms. Arabic قَرْنٌ/الْقُرُونِ (horn/the horns), Korean 뿔/뿔들 (horn/horns), Spanish cuerno/cuernos (horn/horns), Hindi सींग/सींगों (horn/horns), German Horn/Hoerner. All singular and plural forms in Dan 7 belong to this single symbolic sense: the ten horns (7:7), the little horn (7:8), the horn with eyes (7:8, 7:20-21), and the horn making war (7:21). The shift from 나팔 (trumpet) in Dan 3 to 뿔 (animal horn) in Dan 7 across Korean confirms the semantic distinction from the musical instrument sense. 10×

2. horn (musical instrument) — Horn as a musical instrument used for signaling, specifically the sounding horn in Nebuchadnezzar's orchestra in Daniel 3. All four occurrences (Dan 3:5, 3:7, 3:10, 3:15) refer to the same instrument in the list of musical instruments summoning worship of the golden image. Arabic الْقَرْنِ (the horn), Korean 나팔의 (of the trumpet/horn), Spanish la bocina (the horn/bugle), Hindi नरसिंगा (trumpet), German Horn. The cross-linguistic evidence uniformly points to a wind instrument: Korean uses 나팔 (trumpet) rather than 뿔 (animal horn), confirming the instrumental sense. 4×
