Sense 1: fish hook

Semantic entry: 6.10

Semantic domains: Artifacts

Subdomains: Instruments Used in Fishing

Definition: small, curved piece of metal or bone or even a strong thorn, with a sharp point on one end, usually with a barb just behind the point, and a loop or bend on the other end to which a fishing line can be attached; used with some bait attached to it in order to attract a fish

Notes: A literal rendering of OET MAT 17:27 could be quite misleading, since it would imply that only the hook was thrown into the water. What was thrown into the water was a line with a baited hook on the end, and it may be necessary to be explicit in some languages in order to avoid misunderstanding.
