         DefinitionShort: the dense spiky cluster in which the seeds of grain such as wheat and barley grow (restricted in NT contexts to references to wheat)

         Glosses: ['ear of wheat', 'head of wheat']

         Comments: In some languages it is impossible to speak of ‘a head of wheat’ or ‘an ear of wheat,’ since terms referring to ‘head’ and ‘ear’ have no such figurative extensions of meaning. In certain instances the equivalent may be ‘the point of the wheat’ or ‘the brush of the wheat,’ referring to the spike-like objects which extend from each grain.
