    DefinitionShort: a box or crib where animals feed (or possibly even an open feeding place under the sky)
    Glosses: ['feed box', 'manger', 'crib']
    Comments: φάτνη[a] occurs only in {S:04200200700030}, and it may be important in some languages to distinguish clearly between various alternatives. The term ‘crib’ normally refers to the place where an animal stands when it feeds. The ‘manger’ is a relatively large box or rack containing hay, and a ‘feed box’ is a much smaller container, usually for grain. There is, of course, no way of knowing precisely where the baby Jesus was placed, but it would be very appropriate for the baby to have been placed in the feed box or in the manger. See also {D:7.64}.
