1. leg, thigh (body part) — The physical leg or thigh of a person or animal, used across all grammatical forms (singular, dual, plural, construct). Multilingual evidence confirms a single semantic core: Spanish consistently uses 'pierna' or 'muslo' (leg/thigh), Arabic uses 'sāq' (ساق) across all forms, Korean uses 'dari' (다리, leg) uniformly, Hindi uses 'jāngh' (जांघ, thigh) or 'ṭāṅgeṃ' (टाँगें, legs), and Swahili alternates between 'paja' (thigh) and 'mguu/miguu' (leg/legs). The variation between 'thigh' and 'leg' reflects anatomical overlap rather than distinct senses. 19×
