Sense 1: to thresh, to tread out

Semantic entry: 43.19

Semantic domains: Agriculture

Definition: to separate grain from the husks of plants, either by beating or by being tread on by farm animals

Notes: In a number of societies the idea of having animals tread out grain seems to be extremely wasteful and unsanitary, but there is no way of avoiding a translation of such passages in a more or less literal fashion; otherwise, there is no meaning to the context. It may also be important to provide some type of marginal note to explain more clearly what was involved.
